Seven1 - like I said before, I have known people who have killed coyotes out to 500 yards with the .223 remington. While you are correct in the .22-250 being more powerful, the ammo is much more costly. Sure, the premium ammo might be the same cost, but if he's at the range, likely he would want to be shooting cheaper ammo, something the .22-250 doesn't have. Now, I think it you are planing on shootijg yotes out past 500 yards, the extra 50-100 yards the .22-250 doesn't make sense when you could buy something like Hook said in 6mm Remington, or a similar caliber.
I just did a quick check for ammo prices on AmmoSeek:
.22-250: $0.588 per round ($11.75 per 20)
.223: Very easy to find under $0.25 per round, $219.50 for 1000, or $4.69 for 20 rounds.
Now keep in mind that is cheap Tula ammo, but if you don't mind shooting it, it can really save some cash. Even brass cased .223 is only $8 or less for a box of 20 rounds.
