most people around here consider long shots 300 yards bear that in mind, IMO the 22-250 is maxed out near 500 yards, will it make shots further, yeah but to many variables come in to play even at ranges near 500 yards. I hunt an area that has farm fields where there could be shots over 1000 yards if you wish to try them. I am haveing a custom 270 win built with a #5 kreiger barrel for just such a purpose.
depending on if you reload or not, IMO the best cartridge for you is a 6mm with its long neck its much more suited to heavy 100+ grn bullets like the 105 amax, that big amax traveling at a tick over 3000 is one potent long range combo, its even better than anything the 308 win can muster. or if you want a flat shooter load your 6mm with 58 grn vmaxes for lazer like 22-250 performance. you get a lot more versatility with the 6mm. ruger makes one with a 9 twist which might work for those heavy amaxes
300 yards is a long shot in Utah? I agree somewhat on the 250 performance distance....
But I'd say go with a 243!
