I tend to agree somewhat about the ROT as far as some of the Remington rifles go. But you have to remember this, cartridges like the 223 and 22-250 were designed around the lighter weight bullets, and the original ROT's were perfectly fine. Personally, they don't hinder me in the least. I have 3 Remington bolt rifles in 223, one is a 1-12, the other 2 are 1-9. I like 50 and 55 grain bullets in them, so they work. My 22-250 is 1-14, and I shoot 40's, and sometimes 50's and 52's, so the ROT in it is okay as well. If I was a fan of the heavier weight 22 bullets, I'd certainly want the faster twist rates, especially in the 22-250.
