VELOCITY and it shoot pretty straight as well.

Yes it do.
Actually, velocity, range, trajectory.
I use both the .223 and .22-250 on groundhogs. Both are
highly effective! For prairie dogs, I think the .223 might be better because in multiple shots, it won't heat up as quickly or wear out the barrel as quickly as the .22-250.
They are both great rounds for varmints. There is also a hard core following of the .220 Swift. I see that as more of an enthusiasts' caliber. I think handloading is mandatory with the Swift, whereas there is plenty of good factory ammo for the .22-250 and even moreso for the .223.
