My rifle is not a custom rifle. It is a Ruger Gunsite Scout with a 1/16 twist and 16" barrel. It shoots pretty well with loads using the 250 FTX. It did not shoot as well with the XTP Mag and 395 SubX. The 250 FTX seems to both feed well and shoot the best of the bullets I have tried. It would meet your accuracy standards but just barely.
I would be satisfied with the velocity and accuracy for deer size game with the 250 FTX and my combo for <200 yards.
My suggestion regarding 308 instead of a 450 BM is that I think the terminal effects, ballistics, and trajectory are better shooting something like a 308 with a 125 Accubond than the typical 450 BM load.
