I have two new-to-me .22/.250's: A Ruger 77 and a Sako Forrester. Both are older, standard sporters and, no doubt, 1 in 12" or 1 in 14" twist. I would be interested to hear your pet loads.

  All my stuff is 1000 miles and 5 months away. 55 gr bt and H380 come to mind.

  I'd start with a common 55 gr flat base soft point. When I was using a 22/250 full time, my pet load was the 53 grain Hornady flat base match HP and IMR 4895 at max load(maybe a wee bit +P). This was super accurate in a 1-12 Rem 700 but was hard on cases. That part wasn't a big deal since I lost most cases in the deep snow anyway.

  Without delving into recipes, my Ruger 77V does well with H414 and 52 gr SMK. Magnum primers for the spherical powder.

  My Browning '85 actually shoots very well with Hornady 60 gr. V-Max's with 33.5 grains of 4064 and CCI 200 primers.

  My notes are at home but, my Savage 110 is accurate and consistent with IMR8208XBR and a 50gr Hornady VMAX.
  
  But, truthfully, I have done dozens of loads in that rifle and have not found one that goes over 1 MOA.
