I still want something to directly challenge the mosin in the 3-7 range, I’d either drop the 6.5 down to that class range or add a new rifle similar to a 25-06 or high power 6mm
Guess you got your wish with the 44 mag rifle
@@MrGrimlockTheKingya but the distance on that is horrible
The developers need to completely rework, re balance the entire weapon system from the ground up. a 22-250 is a varmint caliber, so it needs to be for 1-3 game... or even 1-4.
Anyone who owns and hunts with a 22-250 will tell you its not only good for long distance ground-hog varminting, but its the golden ticket for coyotes. Here in the South, hunters even use it for hogs and white tails.
Certified Flinter classic
I'm super excited for the Varminter, but mostly from a cosmetic perspective. It'll be nice to have such a clean looking option.
The uppercut and right/left hook are my favorite poses for the kangaroos 😂
The 22-250 is overall a bigger casing than the .223 so the 22-250 should be doing better than the .223
^^^^ This The 22-250 uses a 40-55 grain bullet. Its SCREAMING fast. Its a basically .223 on steroids.
The boxing poses got me 😂😂😂😂
Can you compare frontal shots with the .223 22-250 and the .243 cause it would be interesting to see the penetration differences
I just want a freaking 243 replacement, it’s been the only useful gun in its class since day 1
For real
I’ve used the 22-250 and 223 in real life and the 22-250 hits a lot harder then the 223 especially on things like kangaroos, the 22-250 has a bigger casing then the 223 so more powder behind the same size projectile gives it alot more punch
They need a gel box tester at the target range so we can test penetration of the different guns..😂
And clay pigeon skeet shooting.
Great idea? 🤷🏼♂️
Sounds good to me!
The terminal ballistics of most guns needs reworked. Every time I've taken a good look at the lower caliber weapons, and compared them to the real world, it's depressing. I have to wonder if the any of the devs have ever shot game with less than a 308, or consulted anyone who has
It’s just tough to make guns notably more powerful than others in a game. You’re absolutely correct tho, it’s not a good representation of real life
@@Flintergaming I get that. I think the best thing they could do is make weapons that cover similar classes, and are similar in the real world (270 and 308 for example) nearly identical in power, but maybe give the 308 an edge in penetration (heavier bullets in a 308 typically) and the 270 better trajectory and wind drift. This is just for two weapons obviously, but it would make a lot more guns viable. The 308 is still going to be better most of the time, but if you hit an elk in the lungs with a 270, you shouldn't be tracking it for 300m. Right now it makes it infuriating to use anything but the biggest gun you can shoot a given animal with. Its why the 223 and 270 are dead, but the 243 and 7mm aren't.
I would love if there was a mission diamond kangaroo named Rocky😂
Some of those poses for the multi mount is exactly why I thought those boxing gloves at Layton Lake was teasing Australia until it turned out we were just getting another North America map... least I don't have to be mad about that trolling clue anymore
Gotta hand it to the devs, they have a great sense of humor.
IRL the 22-250 is FAR more powerful than a typical 223 or 5.56. Its a 40-55 grain bullet with a lot of powder behind it. The typical .223 is also 55 grain bullet, but has much less powder in the case, and is the slower, less powerful of the two. Velocity kills. So, Flinter, I don't know why you are surprised or find that interesting. It's well- known fact.
The developers need to completely rework, re balance the entire weapon system from the ground up. A 22-250 is a varmint caliber, so it needs to be for 1-3 game... or even 1-4.
Anyone who owns and hunts with a 22-250 will tell you its not only good for long distance ground-hog varminting, but its the golden ticket for coyotes. Here in the South, hunters even use it for white tails pretty regularly.
Yeah, the guns in general are way weaker than there irl counter parts, except the 22h( I some how got a double lung shot on a Iberian wolf at over 100m and a good few on white tail.)
Love the vids flinter
So exited for this map keep up the great work
The buffed the 223 for the stream but the nerfed it again. How the heck can Jaxy make a frontal heart shot on a whitetail class 4 but It doesn’t even penetrate frontal on a hog deer class 3
Rip to your troll kangaroo
I use Soft Points on lower class rifles more than Polymer tips. Are the soft points viable on the .22-250? I know the .223 soft points are 10 Penetration and 12 Expansion, and with the .22-250's polymer tips being 25 penetration and the .223 being 20 penetration, I expect the .22-250 soft points to be something like 13-15 or 14-14 Penetration-Expansion, which would make me use the .22-250 soft points over both the .223 polymer tips and and .243 soft points for class 2-4 animals.
In this game you go polymer all the time.
@@nuke2099 I have no issues with soft points.
@@schizowallflower Polymer are straight up better. Its not about "having issues". One ammo type is outright better than the other therefore why would anyone use the weaker type of ammo. This is by design btw.
@@nuke2099 why? Because I don't have issues with it. Why would I neglect something in the game if it works just fine?
@@schizowallflower Because a stronger ammo is just stronger. If you want to use the weaker one that's your choice.
Real 22-250 would have blown threw that deer at 100 yards and so would a .223. The ballistics are so jacked in this game.
True true but they do need to balance mechanics for the game.
@@deltazulu2848 why? The games not competitive why sacrifice realism so people have to carry 5 different guns?
@@kimber45auto77 you take video games too seriously go touch grass
Hey flinter could you briefly in the new video answer a question
What are the unique class 4 thru 9 species found in this hunting destination?
What
Hey Flinter, good hunt. The flip over on the kangaroos when shot is pretty funny
I don't want to sound negative but I really don't like the look of the new harvest screen text. Having to click on the shot to get drop down information on a shot is ridiculous, it's not as if the screen doesn't have enough room to show all the text like it did before. which is what is the biggest difficulty for me. I don't have good vision and the smaller and tighter together that ew makes the text lines and the print the harder it is for me to clearly read it. I guess they are trying for a cleaner screen look but it is really just making it harder for some of us players to enjoy the game progress with the status of the harvest screen. I know this doesn't have much to do with you but if they ever ask for you feedback. Thank you for the best content.
Goated you got me into COTW
Wasted potential in my opinion, they should have done it for classes 1-3 then it would have been cool but so its totally useless, also the .223 is still so underpowered its ridiculous...
Lets see what the new map is like😊
Facts
Issue there is that then it’s just a straight up better version of the .22 hornet. Which for real life makes sense but in terms of game balance isn’t great. Imo 1-3 should be reserved for a .410 shotgun to fill that gap.
Usually all calibers are underpowered . Even more .223, 243, 270
I dont get it, what this rifle serves for ? While we have .243 and .223. I mean they buffed the expansion stat of .223 and this weapon told to be more "penetration heavy" . Sooo ? Is just that ?
I was realy expecting a new/revolutionist weapon like 1-3 or 2-5. Just another 2-4 ?
Also, imo they should drop .270 to 2-6 and drop 6.5mm to 3-7 classes. So much 4-8 stacked on top each other, it's boring we need more mid-game rifles imo.
Also every real life hunter says that 22-250 more powerful and has bigger casin/shelll than .223 . So why it's 2-4 ? İmo they should've drop .223 to 1-3 class (unique one) and bring new 22-250 for 2-5.
9:39 you know you can use your whistle to alert them.
PlayStation 4, you hold down R1
Hey!
Doesn't seem that good for a gun that's supposed to be able to take down wolves irl. Why bother when the 243 exists other than to change things up because reasons?
I really don't understand what the 2-4 class rifles are meant to do what the .243 and other 2-6 rifle don't do better.
Mixed goats are rare now
I just hope the .22-250 has consistent accuracy beyond 300 meters
I don’t think the .223 can ever be more powerful than the .22-250, but depending on the bullet weight and powder it can maybe match it?
A 22 caliber bullet going a lil over 4,000 fps and explodes/partitions on impact. My dad has single shot 22-250 and an AR 223 the 250 is louder and in my opinion would probably mess up a smaller animal wayyy worse than a 223. My dad hit a cat that was attacking our chickens with his 250... Just BRUTAL. Thats all I'm gonna say... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Would absolutely love my first diamond of my falliw grind to be a white fur type they are just incredible
Great video
is it a steyr ssg 69 ??? looks like it though
I may be in the minority but I like the new harvest screen it’s more polished and simpler
I do too. It took me like 5 kills to get used to it.
In no world should the 223 be more powerful than a 22-250 what are you talking about? Generally it’s about 20 to 25% stronger than 223
If we take real life in this the 22-250 shuld be more powerful than the 223. 22-250 has a longer case and more gunpowder, when using the same bullet weight for both calibers 22-250 i botten faster anf has more hit energi then the 223. The 243 is just more powerful since it also has a larger bullt diameter
Idk if it’s just me but I thought I saw a albino kangaroo after you shot the mythical
Edit: I realized I’m a bit dumb and it was a feral goat from before
I tried it and it’s not good
The 22-250 should be more powerful than the 223, but neither should be as powerful as the 243, in a rifle or handgun. Where these cartridges are concerned, and also with the 338, the game does a poor job of reflecting the capabilities of these rounds.
The 22-250 delivers about a third more energy from the same weight bullet as a .223. The smallest .243 you can get delivers about 2/3s more energy than a 55g .223. So in any event your assessment is spot on.
@@deltazulu2848 - I've been handloading my own rifle and pistol ammunition for almost 40 years. I'm a pretty serious student of metallic cartridges and the science of ballistics. CoTW really misses the mark when it comes to how some of the cartridges work.
@@jasonbroom7147 I could tell. I hand load shotgun shells only since I shoot so much trap, the rest of what I shoot I just buy. I need to get into it more.
@@jasonbroom7147 also I feel silly, you definitely have way more experience than me. Sorry.
I think Roos go to 10. All 9s I’ve seen people shoot scored so low. 20+ under diamond
I doubt it 10s are normally G1 only
Who's shot 9s?
@@reelfishing47 flinter and kc are who I’ve seen
@@joshuabloemink7258 it’s a joke because none make it
In real life the 22-250 is more than enough to take out a mule deer I used my father in laws 22-250 to hunt rabbits but end up taking a big old mule deer buck with it 200yards out
Certainly! But naming the gun the “varminter” I assumed they designed it with the idea of lighter, faster loads for yotes and such 😃 based on what I saw in the video, it seems they planned on it being good for deer!
Yep the round is flying I only track the buck 80 yards and the bullet went clean threw
In all the 22-250 is a much more powerful round than a 223 much more powder
Irl 22-250 is op
250 is too quiet
I think it is a piece of crap, sticking to my 243!
Fun fact .22-250 was the rifle I was trained on as a kid.
@Infer the difference Lol my dad was a bit of a jerk...I still remember the black eye that scope left when I fired the first shot...learned not to do that pretty quick.
@@Clark42EoClol! Dads can be real jerks. My dad got a friend to shoot his .358 NM and my dad said he should put his back against a wall when shooting so he wouldn't feel the recoil... 😂😂😂
@@Immopimmo brutal lol
22-250 is a much harder hitting round than the .223 in real life. 22-250 is a necked down .308 case shooting 55 grain bullets around 3600 fps where the .223 is the same weight bullet around 2800-3000 fps. 22-250 should be just less than the 243 but more than the .223
It totally depends on the load like I said in the video. But I’m not aware of any .22-250s that are necked down from a .308 case. 250 savage was the creation of it and thus the name, but that would be a huge diameter change! The name of the gun being “Varminter” led me to believe they want it to be a lighter load for things like coyotes and such. That said, it can make perfect sense for it to work like you described as well! Just the .223 was supposed to get a buff, so I thought they wanted it to be more of a “deer load” if that makes sense 😁
22-250 is off of the 250-3000 savage as flinter stated. Less case capacity than 308 based cartridges because it has more taper and is slightly shorter. My load manuals show the 22-250 pushing 55gr at 3700-3800, and the 223 at 3200-3300. The 243 pushes a 55gr almost 4000fps in a typical 22 inch barrel
This is one of those situations where the ballistics of other guns make the new ones make less sense for sure 😭
I understand exactly what your saying and it just seems like they might end up on the same power level. I'm sure once a new caliber is added to the game with older calibers so close it is hard for the developers to really make them stand apart. Kinda like the 308 & 30-06 you talked about in another video. Seems like the 308 is slightly better than the 30-06. You are correct it was 250-3000 savage for the parent case.
@@FlintergamingI've heard muzzle velocity of 45 grain 22-250 hit over 3800 and get to 4000 fps. I would like to bring up the Vasquez cyclone.45 had better stars in general on the ammo(that's the air gun but the way)than the 22-250.
