I asked a similar question of Mule Deer a few years back and he opined that most 22-250 shooters are happy shooting 55 grain bullets and that the faster ROT might result in some of those lightly constructed bullets coming apart while in flight to the target. He printed the question and his answer in one of the Gun Gack book..

I have 1-8", 1-9", 1-10", and 1-14" ROT 22-250s that are set up to shoot bullets in the 55 thru 70 grain range. I'm not shooting anything over a quarter mile and am quite happy with the 60 grain VMax, 60 grain Partition, and 64 grain Power Point.
