Why do Savage 223 Rem rifle barrels have a 1 in 9 twist in when most bullet manufacturers suggest 1 in 12 or 1 in 14?

The 1:12 or 1:14 are old recommended twist rates for the .223, to stabilize the shorter lighter bullets. 1:9 is considered optimal for the current heavier bullet (62gr for example) loading and yet will still do an acceptable job with the 55gr bullets. Look at loading data for bullets OVER 52gr and see what twist rate they recommend. sales@countrygunsmith.net
