Okay, lower numbers meaning faster twist rates makes complete sense. One turn in eight inches is faster than one turn in ten inches. It also makes sense that heavier/longer bullets need more twist to stabilize them.

Thanks for clearing this up guys.

By the way, I have a Ruger 77MKIIVT in .220 Swift and I love the gun. Problem is that I don't get out enough to shoot it.
