Long range and .22's go together just fine if you pick the right bullets to accomplish your task. However, a 22-250 with a 12 twist is a total waste IMO. I have a factory Rem 22-250 with a 12 twist and it shoots 50-55 grain bullets passably well, but not exceptional. However, with Varget and 40g BT's it excells. Groups in the .1's and .2's isn't uncommon, and they are hyperspeed, but not really a long range affair. An 7 or 8 twist will give you more flexibility with the 75 and 80 grain long, high BC bullets that will light up your day on long range targets. Do a little research on them in some reloading manuals to see what the longer .22 bullets do for drop and wind drift at very long ranges and you'll wonder why you've never tried them before.
