on an average the 22-250 hold about 5.5-6.5gr less powder on case capacity which could give the 22-250 extra barrel life (might not be as important to some being a consumable)? that an the 22-250 could yield 50-60fps in velocities which isn't that bad and could be made up with an extra 2". i 1st though of just going 22creed, but i'm reconsidering it for the 22-250 as i'm building it in the AR config. short action 308win based and smaller faces don't interest me in BA's like most would be/have. many have fall'n into the creed phase which isn't a bad case design, but i'm looking for something different or out of other's norm. would any of you choose 1 over the other?

future AR builds may be
6creed or 6x47l
25creed (easy button for that caliber)
already have several 6.5creeds, but favor the 260rem in my AR's
 
I guess between the two .22s I’d look to feeding reliability between the cases. I’ve no idea if it makes a difference in the AR platform. Definitely old school vs Gen X but really the only problem with the .22-250 is twist in the older guns. One of these days I’ll put a new barrel on mine and shoot something heavier than 55 grain ballistic tips. Looking forward to seeing your finished projects.

I think it is more of a what do I want/like here.
Guessing the 22-250 might feed a little better because of case design.
 
well i decided on the 22creed as i just ordered an 18" 8t +2 gas along with a 25creed 26" 7t +3 gas (and all supporting components for handloads). probably be here in july
 
now having a 22 and 25 on the way and already having several 6.5's should i just get the 6.............i do own a 243win ar, but probably not getting the 6. so far the only 25cal bullets i'll have is the sierra 131's and berger 133's. i might shoot as low in weight as the 128edl-x and may try some mono's. graf's had free shipping and were out of stock on some of the other bullets i wanted. graf's had peterson 25creed so i bought 500 pieces. many doesn't like starline brass, but i haven't had any trouble so far, so i bought 500 pieces of 22creed.
