If it were me and I wanted the better varmint rifle for distance and accuracy shooting, I'd go with the .22-250. If it were me and I wanted to find oodles of cheap brass, I'd go with the .223.

Bullets are the same and the difference in powder charge isn't enough to sway me one way or the other.

Your better choice for performance will be the .22-250.

Tell me what caliber you need and I'll see what I have to swap. PM me and we'll discuss.
