[QUOTE="GlennFromVa, post: 1194021, member: 45318"] If the bolt in your Rem 700 fits a 22-250 I would go for that. If it is the 223 size I would go with a 204 Ruger. A 40-grain bullet fired from a 204 Ruger at 3900 fps will be traveling faster, and have more residual energy at 500 yards than a 50-grain bullet fired from a 22-250 at 3800 fps. This also translates to the 204 Ruger having a flatter trajectory and less wind drift… and the 204 Ruger cartridge does it with considerably less powder, longer barrel life, and less noise.
