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.
This is good thinking. My 250's are 10'' twist barrels but still hold them to 90 grain bullets and below.
