. The only one that has come even close to my liking was ridiculously priced as far as ammo goes. I like the speed of the 22-250, but it doesn't quite have the energy that I am looking for. I like the power of other rounds, but the lower velocity turns me off. Looking for a powerful round that has an extremely FLAT trajectory. Any recommendations?

Others have said much about the effects of such rounds. The 22-250 is a glorified 22, with 3000-4000 fps. Just because it pushed the bullet initially at high speed, that doesn't make it flat shooting. Light bullets give way to air resistance quickly. Heavy bullets, with excellent ballistic coefficents don't.
Best Velocity and power? BMG. 750 grain boattail has an extremely high ballistic coefficent.
Now, back to reality. You pretty much want inexpensive ammo, and high velocity.
The only way you are going to get reasonably priced ammo is to go to one of the military surplus rounds. .223, 308, 30-06, 7.62 x 54R, 6.5 x 55mm, 7.5 x 55mm, 8mm.
