To me, any of the .224 cartridges that shoot conventional weight bullets (50-55 gr) are 400 yard rifles, at best.
Why? Try seeing a 55 grainer bullet strike in an alfalfa field at 500+.. . Maybe you never miss, but I do, and seeing the bullet strike is the indicator you need to be able to correct and have the 2nd shot hit. IME, when you get to 400 yards, or even a bit before, you need an 80 grain bullet or more to make enough fuss when it hits the ground to be able to see it. If that rifle is set up for 80 grainers, and that's what you intend to use, it should work. I own and use a 22-250 with 55's, but not at ranges of 400 or more. I use a 243 with 87 Hornady V Max bullets when the range exceeds 400.
