Got with the 8" twist, or even 7". You're not gonna push it so fast with a .223 to create bullet failure, I don't think. You can stabilize a short bullet with a fast twist, but not a long bullet with a slow twist. That was the advice I was given. Only warning was using really lightly constructed bullets under 60gr. in the 22-250 in the 8" twist or faster. Good bullets, no problems.
