what caliber to replace a shot out 22-250
So I'm sitting here, board out of my mind having to watch the voice with my wife. One of my 2 savage model 12's is shot out, and was wondering what you guys think a good change out would be. Looking at getting a criterion barrel from northland shooter supply. I was thunking a 6mm br or another 250 in a fast twist for 80gr bergers. 6xc came to mind also, but the more I look at it, nah. 6.5x47 would be another one. This gun will be used for punching holes in yotes/poodles, and paper...
The nice thing when running 2x 250's on a dog town is once a barrel gets warm, swap out to the other gun...rinse and repeat till no more targets are moving.
Also, already have a 243, but would entertain another one...
Here are my choices...
22 CAL 1-8, 9, 12, & 14 twists (with 1-7 option)
223 Rem., 223 Wylde, 223 A.I., 22-250, 22-250 A.I., 220 Swift, .223 Rem Match
6mm 1-8 twist (with 1-7.5, 1-9, 1-10, 1-14 options)

6.5mm1-7.5 & 1-8 twist
6.5 x 47 Lapua, 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 X 284 Norma, 6.5 x 55 Swed. Match, 260 Rem., 260 Rem. Match, 260 A.I., 260 A.I. Match, 6.5-06 Match,
