22-250 kicks slightly more but is not really enough to notice. I have a few handloads that kick less then some of my .223 handloads. but I also have some hot rounds that kicks a little more. but not enough to make you flinch. I also use the same bullet in both 223 and 22-250 (40 gr V-Max) and you can really tell the 22-250 outshines the 223 at 300 + yards. but if you want close range work (inside 250 - 300 yards) I'd go 223 as that way you can shoot more for the same $
