The twist 1-14 or 1=12 is fine for my needs.. I don't want to shoot an 80 gr. bullet out of my .22's.. I want them shooting fast explosive bullets of the bullet is destroyed once it hits a prairie dog or coyote.. if I want to shoot heavy long bullets, I will use a bigger caliber..
I have to wholeheartedly agree. Light bullets driven fast still have value in the shooting world. I kind of have to yawn when I get told about the great value of long, heavy bullets and how far behind the times I am for not having a fast twist 22 caliber. I find it difficult to believe an 80 grain bullet from a 220 Swift is going to have the same dramatic effect on a ground squirrel as a 40 grain at full throttle.
For better or worse, I’ll keep my Swift and my 40-55 grain bullets. Like you, I have others that will handle heavy bullets should I desire them.
