I don't know about the 22-250, but with my .223 they shoot alright. I have found that the Sierra green tip(can't remember the name)hold the best groups out of everything, and I have shot (handloads) just about every brand bullet there is for the .223, the only ones that I haven't shot are Bergers and Barnes bullets. I bought a combo pack (25 pack, with 5 different kinds ofbullets) from Midway and shot them to find out what shoots best. Pretty much all the bullets are good, you just need to find the one that shoots best out of your gun.

I haven't loaded any TNTs for a while (I used to load them for my 223) but I thought I had the 52gr ones, not sure its been a few years. They shot very well, and they did a number on critters up to coyote sized for me.
