I've seen 272 once on mine. Didn't like that at all. But still didn't hurt anything.

250 is no problem - even if the temp gauge was accurate (which most are not). Newer engines and oil are designed for much higher temperatures. I wouldn't be concerned untill ~280F.
See if you can get your hands on an IR pyrometer and find out what the real temperature is when your gage is reading 250.
