It is hard to believe that at 22-250MV the 50gr bullet would not stabilize in a 1:12 twist rate. You also have a 26" barrel I am assuming, with a model 12 ?
Anyway, you should try a box just in case. If they do not stabilize, take a look at Midway for their Shilen Match barrel with 1:8 twist. It has been in stock several times when I was looking. For $340 approximately, you would have the perfect barrel to shoot the long barnes bullets out of and it would also shoot VLD bullets if you ever do hunting in any neighboring states.
It seems like you have few options so long as you want to hunt in CA.
