Can't speak to a 1-14" twist, but..........

I have a Mini-Mauser bolt rifle that I believe is twisted 1-12" and have a load using the 40 gr V-Max Hornady bullet, selected because the rifle for whatever reason, delivers relatively low velocities with heavier bullets (52-55 grains) despite its 20" bbl.

The 40 grain pill with modest charges is faster than the 52 MHP I wanted to use. Additionally, it actually groups better (at 100). I expect great results on varmints.
