SageRat Shooter,
Considering barrel life in an accurate rifle is very reasonablen.
The .22-250 when pushed toward Pmax is known to be a bit of a barrel burner.
I have an old Remington 700 with a 1:14 twist that has had about 5,000 rounds down the tube and is just beginning to show a degradation in accuracy.
While I did push some pretty hot rounds with light bullets up into the 4000 fps now and then, I found the best accuracy with slower rounds in the 3400-3450 fps range with 52 & 53 grain bullets.
I bought a new Savage model 11 with a 1:12 twist barrel to replace it and have stayed under 3500 fps with the same bullets to make a comparison.
The new Savage shoots better than the old Remington with equivalent bullets, but I hope it will also like some heavier bullets.
I will be trying some 55 grain bullets and maybe even 60 grain bullets to see if the 1:12 twist likes them too.
I am also considering adding a 12 FV model in .22-250 1:12 twist after finding that my two new 12 FVs are incredibly accurate in .223 and 6.5mm Creedmoor.
Enjoy your new rifle.
I have found that 55 FMJ bullets are not very accurate in any rifle that I have tried them in, and I am a nut for accuracy.
I would recommend trying some 52 gr # 1410 Sierra Match Kings and Berger 52 grain flat base #22408 bullets as well as 53 grain # 1400 Sierra Match King Flat base bullets.
They shoot really well out of my old Remington and the new Savage.
The Berger 55 grain #22810 flat base bullets should also shoot well in the 1:12 twist.
