Iam f2fcetting a new varmit barrell for my 222. With 1.10 twist other barrell 1.14. How heavy a projectile will 1.10 barrell allow me to shoot the gun is a anchultz 222 . Model 1530.34

60's should be fine.
Above 60gn I think the consensus is 8" twist works best.
Ruger Americans are 8" twist.
I think my old 788 .222 was 14" twist but I never went above 52gn bullets.
