A 223 cannot push a 55gr bullet fast enough to spin it apart, that being said I would hold out for a 9 twist,

Hey guys. Will a model 12 VLP DBM with the 7 twist still be able to shoot 55 grain varmint bullets such as the vmax and ballistic tip without spinning them apart? I can't get my hands on a 9 twist right now. Thanks.

Thanks for your help, I will probably do that but apparently I'm looking at a 21 week wait which certainly has me thinking bout the 7 twist. It will be a dual purpose gun, used for long range shots and the coyote hunting. Being stuck having to use heavy bullets would not be ideal.
I would not wait 20 plus weeks, you can always rebarrel it,

If you're considering larger bullets than 69 grains, I would definitely consider the 7 twist. I have an 8 twist and just love it. It shoots 55 grainers very well and really hums with the 80 gr amax.
Ranger,what powder are you using with the 80 grainers.
Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!
Well I managed to get my hands on a 9 twist. Here's a picture for your viewing pleasure.

Beautiful rifle. Got one like it myself in 22-250, a southpaw version. One of my favorites.
Kinda reminds me of mine before the change.......lol
