I called Remington and even with the serial number they could not tell me.
Remington 700 Heavy Barrel in 22 250 (Built in 1974) What is the Twist Rate ?

Measure it yourself. Put a tight patch in the bore, mark your cleaning rod so you can see its rotation and measure a distance it moves. Then move it forward for one full revolution and measure the distance you moved the rod. Twist rate found. Its easiest and most accurate with a good rod with a handle on a bearing but you can do it with fixed handle rod if careful. A really tight patch helps.

So the 1:14 should like a lighter Bullet.. I am testing loads.. Hornady VMax 50g..IMR powder punching the same hole with 32G at a test of 50 yards..

I have a Remington 700 VLS in .22-250 Remington. Will shot up to fifty five grain bullets very well. Will not group the Sierra 69 grain HP BT well enough to discuss. (I still have nearly a box full of those bullets.)
Will sort of group the Speer 70 grain SP RN (it's shorter than the Sierra).
1:14 twist as I recall.

I have a early ‘200x’s Remington M700 ADLin .22-250. By actual measure, it’s a 1/14”. It shoots “bug holes” with Sierra 50-55gr bullets.
However, a Hornady 60gr Vmax hits the target side-ways if they hit it at all.
But a 63gr Sierra SMP will shoot 1/2”-3/4”, so it depends on the individual bullet. Not just weight, but length...
