Hi Subaru,
If you look through the posts, you will see that neither James or Jerry was being particularly boastful, I thought. James wrote that the .22-250 was in fact slight overkill and he uses his only when it's to hand, while Jerry noted that in the right hands the .22-250 is a useful calibre, capable of distance shots.
That is not really the same as claiming to shoot the ears off a squirrel at 500 yards.
Let's not allow this forum to degenerate into a slanging match over capabilities, ballistic recommendations and personal preferences.
It's meant to be a friendly site where people can come for advice and assistance. Please don't criticise others unless you'd be prepared to have the same conversation to their face.
Yours, Alastair.
