.223 or .22-250 for Foxing (maybe the range once in a while)

Well lads what is your opinion? .223 or .22-250?
It's for Foxing and maybe a little bit of range. Seen a .22-250
bargain so thought I would get your opinions first.

Imo a 223 is more than enough for Fox. Ammo dearer for 22-250
even if u are going to reload. I cant see any benefit of one
over a 223 for Fox control. But that's just me lol

I agree with cjm, 223 is perfect
But if your getting a 22/250 at a bargain then go for it

.223 for me is the best fox round and there are better deals on
ammoŁ35 for 50 hornady .223
You won't get 22-250 for that price .

My guess with the .22-250 is that it's cheap because the
barrel's shot out.
It's one of those guns that you just don't touch second hand.
.223 is all you need for fox control.

Depends what range you're talking, 22-250 has longer range but
rounds cost more (as far as I remember), .223 is more popular so
wouldn't be as much hassle getting ammo (I've a .222 and can
never get more than 3 or 4 boxes of the same ammo ffs so I'm
going down the reloading route)

Yes it has more range but realistically most fox shooting is
done under the lamp and at under 200 yards. more than enough
punch in a 223 for that.

One other thing I remember from when I looked into the same
thing over a year ago, .223 has a barrel life of (roughly)
10,000 rounds, .22-250 is something like 4000 rounds

Heard it numerous times dont buy a used 22-250.
.223 cheaper for ammo and cheap to reload aswell less powder.
.222 more accurate than both as it was developed as a target
round.
