What will you be using it for? You'll get maybe 200fps faster than a .22-250 with a little more energy and a slightly flatter trajectory. I've heard they're pretty hard on barrels though. That small of a bullet travelling that fast is sure to wear our your gun quicker, but I've never owned one or shot one, and have no hard evidence to back it up - it's just what I've heard. The ammo is for sure more expensive though. If that's what you want, go for it man!

make sure your barrel is a chrome lined. they can see significant wear on a barrel in .223 WSSM after just 300 rounds with a regular moly barrel. it is slightly better with a stainless barrel, and much better with a chrome lined. good cartridge, finecky, but phenominal ballistics! have at her.
