    10 twist. Well, I guess it's better than 14, but why???? It's a shame you didn't get one of the special runs Ruger did for Whittakers with 8 twist. I don't know why manufacturers are so slow to change to modern twists. We aren't still shooting the same bullets we did in the 60s. Good luck on anything heavier than 65gr.
