Schultz & Larsen 22-250 ammunition preferences?

[Oldfogey]

I'm about to order a new S&L Victory in 22-250. I don't reload presently so I need to find out which factory ammunition gives the best accuracy in these rifles.
It takes a long time to work through all the options and it's not helped by the current shortage of ammunition.
All rifles have their preferences so if anyone here can help me create a shortlist I would be very grateful.
I would consider reloading if powders and primers were more available but for now it's factory ammo only.

Well Privi always leaves you the option of good brass for reloads. Its not the fastest or even the most accurate but I find its ok in my Sako 85 when I'm running low on handloads.

Depends on twist rate. My CZ 500 american in .22-250 is 1:12 so doesn't like the lighter factory options. Used to post a good half in group with the 50gr Hornady varmint expresses though.

Twist rate on the S&L is 1:10

might be worth trying a few of the lighter rounds then. That said the 50gr is more than man enough for anything you'll be willing to raise the rifle too, and its also no slouch at 3800 fps from memory!

50gr Hornady Express has one vote already and I know I can get that.
The S&L may have different preferences as the rifling is cut?

I'll put it this way, yet to find a rifle that doesn't get on with them!

Any experience with NTX?
Or Superformance?
My Sako S491 .222 chronos 50gr Superformance at 3,450 fps. That's better than most .223s and they consistently group 18mm with my limited abilities.

Used superformance 50gr. Even better than the varmint express. Went back to varmet express due to no being able to get hold of thebsuperformance
