22-250 twist rates

Savage makes the Model 12 VLP in .22-250 Rem with 1-9 and 1-12" twist. I have that same stock on my 112 in 6.5-284 Norma and really like it. Rifle started life as a 112 BVSS and another forum member wanted to trade and I am glad I did because its LOP is shorter and fits me much better.
Something I have never quiet understood is rifle Mfg's will make .223 Rem with 1-7" twist barrels but not the .22-250Rem. What would it hurt? What's their thinking on this? Can't the cup/core .224's take the RPM's?
 
I have a Savage FVSS with a 26" 1-12 twist that is death out to 470 yards (so far) on groundhogs. It'll shoot 55 grain Sierra Game Kings in tiny groups at 200 yards.
I have a 12BVSS savage 26" 1-12" twist, I quoted justinp61 cause my current longest range groundhog kill is 468yds with hornady 50gr Vmax. My avatar target is the way it groups....
