I have a 1-10" custom barreled Ruger #1 but have never shot heavier than 87-90's out of it, the same bullets I have stockpiled for my old slow twist Savages. They've been killing deer with alacrity for 106 years now, are crazy accurate, and entirely adequate for the distances I have available both at the range and in the woods. Stick in the mud? Maybe. But if I had wanted something to sling long/heavy .25's I would've kept the Roberts or bought a .25-06. My #1 6.5x55 stands ready to fill that role anyway. To me the .250 with light-ish bullets neatly fills the niche between my .22CF's and the 6.5.
