Thanks for the video the jug test is my favorite and two really great calibers to test. 👍🏻

[@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080]

The original 250 Savage is a complete replacement for the 243. They shoot the same weight projectiles at exactly the same speeds. It's a real shame that no one is building guns in 250-3000 any more. My father rebarrelled a Remington 600 to 250 Savage. The rifle went from holding THREE+ONE 243 cartridges to holding FOUR+ONE 250 Savage cartridges in the same magazine.

Im 65. My Grandma hunted the first half of her life with a 30-30. In 1956 (i think) or there abouts Grandpa got her a shiny new Savage M99 in 243. for the next 37 years she took her mulies and elk every year with it. People would tease her about it being a "girl" gun and she would just say "If you know how to hunt you don;t need a big gun, sonny"

[@WillyC300]

@@Duke_of_Prunes250 savage is a good one that is sadly largely forgotten, I have two model 1899s one chambered in 250 savage and one chambered in 303 savage, never hunted with the 303 (I’d imagine it’s very similar to 30-30 considering you can chamber a 30-30 in it and it’ll shoot the same though I wouldn’t recommend it for safety reasons I can confirm that it works) and I will die on the hill that 250 savage is one of the best hunting calibers ever made, despite being a fairly small round it almost always drops them within 20 yards.

@@Duke_of_Prunes both of those rifles belonged to my grandfather and the 250 has killed more deer than any other gun in our arsenal, of course I’d imagine the fact that the rifle was manufactured over 100 years ago has something to do with that but it’s still impressive nonetheless.

[@gamebred5662]

My 2 favorite hunting calibers. (White tail and smaller game) I'm gonna say the 243 wins but I love the 22 250.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

I love em all!

[@klevee6076]

I love my 243. Crazy velocity with light frangibles for varmints. A 55 grain pill in 243 should be up near 4000ft/s. The 22-250 is a great cartridge however factory twist rates are limiting so I built a 7 twist 22-250 to sling 90 grain vld projectiles making the cartridge a great long range target toy. I use the 243 now for everything deer and smaller now. And the 22-250 for target. I'm able to spot for myself too since muzzle jump isn't excessive as well. If you like target shooting look into a 22-250 target build. It's become my favourite target rifle for 1000 meters and less.

I don't feel like .243 gets the love it deserves. Seems like a lot of people think of it as a kid's bullet, and therefore assume it doesn't have much power.

Awesome video WTW! I thought the 22-250 would have went further than it did. Awesome comparison none the less.🤘🏽

[@russellkeeling9712]

At the velocity the 22-250 bullet travels it becomes just a splatter when it hits the fluid. You should remember that water does not compress so all the energy from the bullet passes through the jugs with the additional weight of the water. The low mass bullet cannot withstand the impact and splatters. Horrible if you want to eat an animal.
