I bought a used 22 250 a few days ago and it came with 4 boxes of factory ammo. After 6 sight in shots my wife took it and destroyed a bunch of clay pidgeons at 100 yards with the 40 grain, Federal Varmiter loads (factory ammo that came with the gun purchase). She wouldn't give me the gun back so I don't know what it would do with for a rested groupiong.
For what it is worth, the previous owner wrote "Shoots Best" on both boxes of the Federal 40 grns. There was also a box of Winchester silver tip and Hornady V Max, both 40 grn, no notes from previous shooter. With the twist rate of this barrel it would seem it is meant to shoot the lighter .224 bullets.
