My 12BVSS in 22-250 is a great rifle. It should shoot as well as you can. The 22-250 is a precise, super fast laser beam of death for varmints and blows Nutria Rats to smithereens and red fog way out there with 55gr V max. It does pretty darn well on paper too. This target is 8 rounds (2 full mags) at 120 yards and the rifle shoots like this over and over all day. Only a couple of cents more in powder that .223 to load. just think of it as a .223 exposed to lots of steroids, radio waves from outer space and and 1960s radioactive sludge. That or a very cost effective super fast over bore "mini" magnum.
