Try contacting this guy. He's already done what you're inquiring about. I don't know him, maybe he'll respond.

One thing you'll have to be concerned with is wether or not there is enough shank left on the Winnie barrel for set back. The relatively mild load I use shoots 3650 with 53gr Hornady match bullets. I have had it to 3850 with a hot load of AA2520. My rifle wears a 26" tube so I would imagine 22" should still get you the 3500fps your looking for. If the setback is feasable then I'd imagine a properly cut chamber and a fresh crown should net you better accuracy then you previously had with the 22-250.
