Around here (central Wyoming) the trend is to over gun. The .300 and .338 Ulta Mags are selling like hot cakes as are the 30-378 Sako rifles. Guys would be better off with a .30-06 or .270 IMHO.
As for the 22-250 it is one of my favorite cartridges. They are legal to hunt deer with in Montana but not here. I use the 63 grain Sierra a lot along with the lighter bullets. Fact is, there are no bullets available that are of proper construction to consitently provide for a humane kill. I think using a 22-250 is a bit unethical, but that's just my opinion.
As for the 1000 yard shots at p-dogs and the 700 yard shots at deer, poppy cock. Apples and oranges and fool hardy to boot. I had the opportunity to attend the benchrest nationals this year and the best shooters in the world lay no claim to being able to pop a p-dog at a thousand yards. Kinda like the 25 lb. walleye or the 40 inch mule deer...
