the down side to a 22-250 is if you hit even the smallest twig, the bullet will basicly disentigrate in flight bc it is traveling so fast. the 5.56 is an all around good cartridge and is used by many target shooters out to 500+ yards with accuracy. it has enough powder to to carry it into its target and cause damage to the vitals, except for a fat and heavily shielded hog, but thats where a neck shot comes into play. i do agree the 22-250 is a flater shooting bullet with a better trajectory than the 5.56, but again it is traveling a heck of a lot faster which is a good thing, but can be a bad thing. anything over 2800fps is getting a little to fast unless your shooting over open prarrie land.
