Kinda what I was getting at. Not really a fair comparison either is it.?.?.?
Only used the barrel length thing to point out that it is possible for a 223 to match exactly what a 22-250 does. If your short 22-250 hits coyotes like a VW bus... Then my long 223 does exactly the same. Or, if your 24" barrel 22-250 kills coyotes like the hammer of Thor at 650 yards. My 24" 223 kills them exactly the same way at at 575 yards. Same bullet going same speed kills the same, regardless of headstamp!!!
To say one cartridge is insufficient, but the other is great out to extreme ranges... Well that's silly. Now to say my 22-250 is pretty much a 100 yard better performer than your 223 loaded with same bullet; I can wrap my head around that.
More than one way to skin a cat.
