22-250 vs 243 - Giant Clay Blocks 

..... Never thought of that 🤔

You have a good point there.

Man I laughed about this for an hour just wanted to say thanks for the laugh

I Agree

I remember when everyone was going 6.8 for ar15s thinkin why not just go .243 ar10 👍

Velocity wins faster flater farther

I have had similar results and would use either one

Very well said I love both these cartridges. I hunt with ruger mark 77. 243. And have never lost a deer placement is key. With any cartridge. The 22 250 is very good accurate round for white tail,,,also,,,

Poppa gave daddy and daddy gave to me?

Most of my hunting buddies tell me I should graduate to a larger caliber. They all use larger calibers like 30.06 and 7mm Mag, and call mine a pea-shooter. I sport a Weatherby .243 with Bausch & Lomb scope. It's the darnedest thing that they are always having to track their deer. Shoot mine right between the eyes every time and drop them right there on the spot.

I’ve killed many deer with both. They both work fine. I prefer a neck shot with the 22-250 but the .243 for some reason goes straight through without a tendency to actually break the neck almost as if you’re shooting FMJ’s or something. Cartridge I use now is actually 22-243. Sweetest gun I have.

243 was pretty wild!

@@WHOTEEWHO 243 is really a grear alternative to 223 rem for counter snipping in urban place ,, in lot of country Swat style commandos prefers 243 than 30i8 for one part of interventions.

hello great video. I would like you to do a video to compare the 7.5mm round to the 5.7mm round. This would be great if both could be fired from a pistol & a rifle, or long barrel. Great job keep on doing what you doing ! ! !

@@nieljames9844 .... What kind of comparison would that be? The 5.7 doesn't hold a candle to the 7.5.

@@Mike-gw9yt well that would be one great video

very true

Awesome!!!

Absolutely correct, the observed results are exactly as expected. A more robust bullet for the 250 would have exited as well

correct! I use the Hornady bullet in the Norma V-max round. Focus on expansion and ricochet reduction instead of penetration.

Vmax is a great boolit. I load them over Varget.

Once you use one you will never put it away

A lot of fun

I agree. I like them better than ballistic gel.

He's got the front n back mix up on243 target .

3006 is most versatile 12ga close second 243 might be 3rd

😛😛😛

Yup. 22-250 is a beast

It is I hunt with a 243. Both the 22 250. Are very good accurate cartridges. Its all about placement I bow hunt. And kill deer. So yes. If you hit ,, the heart and lung erea and you'll usually bring your buck home,,,

Both are great for deer. Bullet construction makes a huge difference

You are right. The 22-250 is popular for deer to. I have known it to be used on hogs but not really bought for hunting them. I like the 6mm remington a bit better. My wife has a running count of 9 deer all one shot stopes with it. And I am up to 27 one shot stops on hogs and deer with it.

most places , it's popular in the UK aswell .

Gotta love the 243

For many years I utilized a varmint weight Ruger #1 in .22-250 for coyotes. Then as I got older, hunting calling solo, primarily @ night; traveling frequently from location to location I desired both a rifle and a shotgun. With all the loading and unloading each night I chose an H&R 12 gauge single shot and an H&R lightweight synthetic youth model shot .243 Win. . This way I can carry both to my stands. Then my g/f can use the .243 in deer season too. Its zeroed @ 75 yards.

@@1fast10r : I'm going way back into my memory banks, but ...back in the 1960's; ... wasn't the go to bullet for the .243 supposed to be the 87 grained?

@@rudygeorgiamulesandcountry1594 i love coyote hunting, i use a 223 ar but would love a 22-250 or a 243.

@@JESSEPAVON : Depending where your at geographically a .223 could be ideal. There's an ammo advantage on the .223. Where I'm at, lacking wide open spaces a .22 Mzg. Would have enough range.. My H&R's are on the lightweight end of the range. I Have 2 heavyweight 10 gauges that go over 11 # each. Many guys use shotguns here, especially when running dogs. Hey! Good Luck.

Nice

Gotta love 243

Popular caribou round up here too

Sweet

Most of the deer and antelope I took in Wyoming were with the 243. It punches above it weight class.

Lots of hunters have dropped deer in their tracks. I have with a .50 caliber muzzleloader, .308, .22-250, .270, 6.5x55. So exactly what's your point?

I use the same thing for my 243

Nice is it wooden stock

@@mrhamsam243 Yes sir, it is a wooden stock ADL model. Put a Bushnell 3-9x on when I first got the rifle. Still on there and has always done well. Thanks for your reply!

Would this be Marxachusetts

I love fallow deer! Shot one last month

You wont be disappointed

👍👍🦌🦌🦌

I love em both

Been killing deer since the early 80's with 55gr. 22-250.

@@jedclampett6466 mine drop like like a sack of feed with sierra 55gr boat tail hollow point gamekings

The 22-250 always has been and always will be my favorite caliber,hands down.

@@SilverBullet22250 yup..i quit using my other rifles. When i go hunt the 22-250AO goes with me always.

I love them all!

I don't know much but I thank that may be a song from the late 80s early 90s 😂🤣

@@bryanblood7063 I don't know much, but you are correct!! LOL

@@Thousand_yard_King look at this face I know the years are showing I'm 36 and it's funny I remember that on the radio in my parents car as a kid and we use to try to sing like Aaron nevelle

I looove 243 too. With Federal or geco 105 grs bullets (its a mini express mix 12 gauge (2 1/2") up 243 down

Just stay away from the shoulder with the 22-250, unless you are using a Nosler partition or Barnes x designed for deer.

Shot placement is always the most important factor.

I use nosier partition bullets in my daughters 22 250 rifle it works OK for deer. The 243 is a much more capable round for deer

Don’t you have a friend that’ll let you use one of his 270 or 30-06? You must feel out of place on those hunts. Kinda like showing up at a funeral in shorts and seeing all the other men in suits

Dead Right There.....for those who don't know what DRT means

Thanks for watching Scott!

Bought that same gun for my daughter. She Killed a deer last two years. Nice shooting gun.

🤣🤣🤣

😆😆😆

I love em both. Thanks for watching Ken

😆😆😆

I believe i used 93 grain sierra for my mule deer and it knocked him down. 243 is absolutely one of the best deer rifles, id never go with a 308 over the 242

Awesome. I need to take mine hunting

I love the 2506 too

It does have more boiler room. But at the standard 14 twist not as good with heavier bullets for larger game.

I have some for deer hunting

@@WHOTEEWHO being 100% serious here....I personally witnessed a guy use a 22-250 Nosler Partition 60 grain on a cow elk at just over 150 yearns. It went through BOTH lungs and exited!!!!! It is an amazing round and it good enough for me even the largest whitetail deer. I have killed several pigs here in south Texas with my 22-250 and I have over twenty boxes of the Nosler Partitions in my safe in reserve. It makes the 22-250 easily outclass the .243 due to its’ speed and accuracy. If it were the only gun I had and a record book elk was within 200 or so yards I would not hesitate to use it on a high neck shot or to shoot for a double lung!!!!!

I sure would like to have a 243 so I would have a small rifle, I'd put a bumper sticker on the stock that says my other rifle is a 7.62 x 54. It is true that I have a .22, but a 243 would be cool.

@@marcp1180 I have one it's a Savage axis and it shoots great they are definitely worth it

@@reaperhunter7297 savage axis is amazing for deer and anything under.

I love them all!!!

Absolutely

Heyo! That bm59 is nice! Thanks again

Yup 243 had a little more party to it

@@WHOTEEWHO use the same bullet next time an the 22 250 will outshine the 243

Awesome

I have same axis 22-250 put a timney trigger in its sweet as to shoot. Rabbits and foxes at 200-400 meters.

What were you thinking?

@@mattjubie let me see meat in the pot

@@mattjubie she sure did taste good.

🙏🙏🙏 thanks Andrew. Appreciate you watching

Just out of curiosity and I am not criticizing your comment...... How many elk have you shot and killed with the .243? And how many elk never got away that you did shoot? I have a .243 but I would be hesitant to use that caliber for elk or even deer in that part of the country where elk primarily live....the west and the far north. The animals are just so much bigger and stronger out there. Even with proper shot placement, a well made 100 grain 6mm caliber bullet like a nosler partition bullet is not going to be as effective as say a good 140 to 160 grain bullet in 7mm, like the 7mm-08 or the 7mm Remington magnum. I have used my 7mm Remington magnum on elk, mule deer, texas whitetail, texas exotics, and big feral hogs. No animals have ever gotten away. Unfortunately I have lost some texas whitetail deer and some feral hogs when I used my .243 that I shot at ranges beyond 200 yards. The .243 is a great varmint round at long ranges. It is also a great deer round at medium ranges in my opinion. But I personally would never shoot an elk with a .243, but that is just me. The shot placement would have to be near perfect every time in order for the animal to not get away and/or suffer before expiring.

😍😍😍

I am a 22-250 fan

It’s all about that shot placement

The first time I hit my hard steel 3/8" thick target I was amazed. Nasty!

243 is pretty awesome

Thanks for watching Scott

Good idea. I love 25-06

Good idea. Necked down 30-06 vs a necked down 308 😃

I love watching prairie dog videos and the 243 seems to have the best outcomes.
