thinking about buying yet another rifle because, well... ok, I just want one. What do you all think about the 22-250 rifle as opposed to one that shoots the 17hmr?
That 22-250 is one hellova bullet and can zoom along at 4000fps and it destroys whatever it hits. It is a center fire cartridge so it's re-loadable. On the flip side, ammo is harder to get and more expensive. Oh, and because the bullet is so fast, supposedly it can affect barrel life too.
the 17hmr is the new 22 IMHO. The bullet is sound with good stopping power and overall performance/accuracy, ammo is cheap and readily available. On the flip side, it's a rimfire cartridge and the bullet looses a lot of it's stopping power after about 125-150 yards or so, and it's very susceptible to wind.
which one would you buy if given a choice?
