So far, the only disadvantage of the 22-250 vs. 204 for pdogs is that the barrel heats up waaaay faster (as expected). I just use a water-soaked towel wrapped around the barrel. Works well, looks dumb lol
Besides that, the recoil is a tad more and before the trip, I actually got slightly sore after 75rds of zeroing and 300/400/500 truing on steel. Didn’t notice it that day, but did the day after. 204…never.
Just call me Mr. Shoulder Puss™.
