For wild dogs, the better whack factor favours the 250 over the .223 although for shots under 100m there is little difference between the two. The .223 is marginal for dogs in some circumstances.

I'm currently hunting another (big dog) that I have seen some trail cam pics of.
To suit the terrain on this particular property, and as well gain the extra (above mentioned) "whack factor" I have opted for the .308 with HPs
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
