Hello All,

I posted this as a follow-up in another section, but sometimes things get lost in the string, so here it is as a main topic.

I'm going to purchase a varminting rifle. I will either select a Remington or Savage. I have a choice between a .223 and 22-250. I will be reloading the chosen caliber.

I have an understanding (not sure if it is correct), that the 22-250 will give me an additional 50 yards of reasonable accuracy.

Is there anything that will help me decide other than distance?

DG
