I'm personally ok with it. I like the idea of light bullets going fast when varmint hunting.

I can only speak for myself but if I wanted to shoot 70g+ bullets I'd just bump up to a 6mm of some flavor. But I can see where a shooter in todays world might find the 1:14 twist to be .....limiting.
This.....I guess. If you need heavier get a bigger gas tank.

A 14 twist will run most poly tipped 55 grain bullets fine. That's about as heavy as needs ran in the little cartridge.

They weren't intended to run heavy bullets. Light and fast to 400 or so.

Take a 22-250 with a 50 grain bullet at 3800+ and it can catch a running coyote rather easily.
