The 1in12 22-250 should stabilize them fine. I have not shot them as I reload but I hope they do well for you.
Found a good deal on cheaperthendirt the other day so I bought four boxes. Hornady Custom Match 60g ammo. I have a 1 in 12 22-250. I guess the question is has anyone shot these? Or know that they will stabilize and whatnot? The box says 3600 FPS at the muzzle. They are a soft point match bullet. Just pokin the fire here.

When they put FPS on a box it usually means max, before spinning apart, I'm sure there's some wiggle room there.

36gr of Varget will put you at 3500+ FPS and won't hurt your brass.

Well they shot wonderfully today. I did notice that after 25 or so the barrel started to warm up and the groups grew a little. But overall type gun handled the load without question. I will post some pictures when I get back home. Five rounds in a quarter at 200. The grew to A half dollar after a bunch of shooting. But a couple cold barrel shots where right where I wanted them.
I was shooting the 22-250 Hornady Custom series 60g soft points. I don't know if I was unconcious while doing this or what was going on. But all in all it was a very repeatable round. Accuracy was the best I have seen with factory ammo of any kind. After the barrel warmed up 30 shots or so into it. The groups started to open up a bit, either beacause I was having too much fun or because the gun was warm. Either way I am pleased.
This is at 200 yards, slight breeze, drizzle, off sandbags.
Is this acceptable or can it be better?

with the right powder and bullet combo and good trigger as well as scope you should be able to cover them with a dime..
What have you got for a barrel on you rifle?
Factory barrel. Nikon buckmasters 6-18 scope. Accutrigger. Aftermarket stock. Is this in the realm of ok for all factory ammo and whatnot? Or should it be better/worse?
