[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 922862, member: 30902"] It all depends on your end goal. If hides don't matter I'd go with the good old 6mm Remington. If they do matter, of your choices the 22-250 is the better of the two. I have both a .220 Swift (very similar to the 22-250) and it's great on them but I'm not a hide hunter. I own a .204 that is just flat out the most fun I've had shooting in decades. With the right bullet out to 400yds it's deadly as all get out but wind will shred it very quickly. Another to consider would be the 260 Rem or 6.5x49. Both are great choices for long range varminting as long as the critters aren't moving out at full speed. [/QUOTE]
