I have a Remington Varmint 22-250 and tried everything to get the bullets from 50-62 grains to shoot and never could get it below around MOA at 100 yards. Since it was to be my rock chuck and PD rifle that just wasn't going to do so I kept experimenting. About the only load I could get to shoot I stumbled on by accident. A buddy gave me some 40 grain ballistic tips and I bought some Varget for a different rifle to try that didn't work out, so I put them together using the load right on the label. It shot so well I've loaded several hundred rounds for it to take along on every trip. The 1-12 twist just isn't friendly to "heavy" bullets...
I did find my rifle likes a bit of fore end pressure. Test it by building up business cards under the fore end until you notice your groups start to tighten up. It made a bit of difference in my 22-250, but didn't do much for a couple other rifles I tried it on....
