I had a Ruger American 22-250. I have put all sorts of ammo through it, both factory and reloads. probably 1000 rounds. Could not get the thing to hit within an inch of the same place twice. Did a swap for a Howa Varmit SS camo. Shot the same factory ammo (Remmington 55 grain PSP) , 5 shot group around the inch while running in the barrel. I'm a convert!

not hanging it on the ruger american, l have seen them shoot very well in the past myself but in the case of the howa if you are happy with it now get a match grade barrel fitted properly onto it and see how happy you will be with it
but l am saying fitted properly and what a varmint should be shooting is under 1/2 moa
