I'm not trying to but into the OP but does anyone know of a rifle that has a fast twist in the 22-250? I want to run some 70-80 grain bullets.

Mine loves max load of Varget with 40gr BT's. I plan to try some 4064 with 50gr BT's here soon and see how those do.

I asked the same question on another site but didn't get a answer but it's my understanding that Ruger makes the American Rifle model with a 1-9 twist in the 22-250

Since this came up, I had an opportunity to try some AR Comp in my 1 in 7 twisted 22.250...it gave some very impressive velocity increases.... especially with the 53 V Max, with its high BC resulting in a pretty flat shooting combo.... with stellar accuracy.

CFE223 has beaten everything else for velocity in my 22-250 using 55 gr. ballistic tips. It's very accurate in my rifle also.

Varget and the Hornady 50 gr V-Max
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

Haven't used a lot of powders in the old .22-250.. Started with 4064, but switched to H4895 because it shot more accurate, was faster, and easier to drop.. Bought 11 pounds of 3031 at a very good price so I have been shooting it.. Never check the speed on it, but the H4895 was quite a bit faster than 404.
