The 22.250 is a better round for long range shooting in my limited experience.

"The 22.250 is a better round for long range shooting in my limited experience."

You're right about that. The ballistics are better, but I've been told that some of the pre-ban .223's with heavy barrels are accurate to 500 yards. I don't know how much energy is left at that range, but that's what these guys told me.

Personally, I could never get a .223 (mini 14) to do any good beyond 100 yards. But, then again, my was the standard carbine Ruger.

I'm not that good with a rifle, anyway. My skill was always with the old wheelguns, around 6.5 inch barrel.
