I know ya can't always believe ballistics tables...but a 204 with a 39 or 40gr bullet has less drop AND drift up to 500m and 10mph crosswind than a 22-250 does.
I love my 22-250, but the 204 is sweet to shoot, about the same cost to reload, and its quite nice to see hits through the scope with no recoil whatsoever.
That said, I've never set mine up on a windy great plains dogtown and had a string of misses due to breezy conditions while 22-250s and 243s were scoring hits...so I'll defer to those who have.
