Still happens today. I bought one of the Lipseys Ruger #1V's in .223, which was supposed to have a 1 in 8" twist. It shot 4-5" groups with 75gr Amax. I checked and measured it at 1 in 9", contacted Ruger and they said yeah it's 9". After the buildup & hooplah for a fast twist I was surprised they'd do the 9".
That said, it's possibly my most accurate #1, so I guess I'll live with it.
