Much is going to depend on your rifles barrel twist. Most rifles in .22-250 have a 1 in 14" twist and will do a nice job with 55gr. and lighter bullets. Anything heavier is iffy. Faster twists to about 1 in 9" will allow accuracy with the heavier bullets. Even so,
more goes into it than that. You have to conside the bullet type, length and configuration into the equation. The .22-250 is one of my favorite calibers, but I have to be mindful of its limitations. Best wishes.
