Not 22-250 but on my 222 and 20 Tac. As far as I know a few keepers locally have them too. Not heard a bad report about them. I would happily buy another if and when I need one.

Got Hausken MD45's on my 223 and 243 and not had any issues.
I've just got one for my 30 06, I'm a big fan of ase ultras and was a bit yes/no bout getting one. The weight is considerably less than the ase , so anyway I bought one just because of the light weight and it's going on my walkabout stalking rifle
Time will tell if it's up to the build quality of the ASE ,but when I zerod the new rifle with it on , it does the job and I'm happy with it

I have three Hausken JD224, they perform very well from 223 to 300wm. They have a reputation for being bored a bit tight. My two 308's had flyers every now and then and I bored out the Hauskens a bit. Since then the accuracy is perfect. For 223 I use a 243 Hausken. I have shot a 223 22-250 and 243 from the 243 mod and all seemed tame enough. If I need a new mod or another mod it would probably be a JD224.
They do corrode internally somewhat..... most alu mods do

They are not quieter than a jet-z (like for like on the same rifle, we tested them both)
The XTRM is good but too pricey and they are still a bit bulky
All aluminium mods should be sprayed with light oil to neutralise the acidic components left in after use
Flyers are much more likely to be a consequence of a less than concentric muzzle thread, loose mods or debris in or on the thread and shoulder
By boringness them out you have reduced its efficiency dramatically
It's no coincidence that the mods with the tightest bore to calibre tolerance are the quitests in tests
No you don't reduce efficiency dramatically, very slightly maybe. In my case increasing bore size by 0.3-0.4mm made the moderator useful. No matter what, rifle manufacturers will manufacture threads on the end of barrels... these threads will have slight tolerances and moderator manufacturers must live with it... others do but Hausken has a reputation for having too small holes in the baffles for cal. The holes in a moderator must be bigger than the bullet wobbling through.... I hope we all agree.
Way more "efficiency" is achieved by a bit of wire mesh inside the moderator compared to a few tenths of a mm in bore diameter.

Well on my 308 shot blind in front of 2 people who did not know which moderator was being used the JD 224 xtrm was markedly quieter to the bystanders ear. Same between jet z and JD184 XTRM on a 30-06 though less of a difference.
This mirrors other tests I've seen.
You can't spray an XTRM - it's filled with wire wool.
I have no axe to grind - I shoot jetz and Hausken
There is a difference between perceived sound reduction, and actual sound reduction.
I would have thought it difficult to compare mods in the field as there are so many variables.
I do agree that the hole (through the moderator) does need to be larger than the passing bullet but the larger the hole the more expanding gas passes through and the 'louder' it is. Mods with the tightest bore to calibre tolerance offer greater sound suppression. A total of 0.3/0.4mm radial clearance is OK, adding another 0.4mm would make the modferator 'much' louder.
Bullets "wobble" do they @ejg ? Perhaps you could explain that ?

I agree however I'd rather use one that hurts my ears less!
