Carl you mentioned Europeans have an apparent need to twist the deuce 1 in 14...well, so do Americans. Its especially hard to find a factory .222 in anything else.
Built one last year for a pard with a 1 in 12 and of course it digests 55 grainers just fine.
Ive got two bolt guns with a 1 in 14 but they are relegated to shooting bucktoothed varmints, and 50 grainers work great for that.
A BIG selling point on this new Ruger was the 1 in 9 twist, so I could stick something heavier in, and do some stunt shooting
