[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 837248, member: 7123"] Because it's using heavier bullets, which are properly stabilized by the 1 in 9 twist commonly found in .223 rifles. AND, because it's going slower, which is a *good thing* - a bit slower bullet penetrates better than a ultra high vel bullet, given equal construction. Put those two independent factors together, and they equal a point greater than the sum of their parts, meaning that a .22-250 is far more likely to "blow up" on a shoulder and not penetrate. Add in the 3rd factor of the construction of factory loaded bullets in .22-250 which are nearly all thin-jacketed frangible bullets, and you've got a good recipe for poor performance on intermediate obstacles, quite unlike a .223 with a heavier and more heavily constructed bullet. Right. That's the problem - you don't want that. Well nothing in theory - but that's just it - they don't MAKE .22-250 rifles with a 1 in 9 twist -the only factory .22-250 with a 1 in 9 is a 12 pound Savage LRPV, and I don't think anyone's gonna hunt deer with it.
