Experience with a twist on the long-range .223

It has been written a lot, but I am interested in your experience and opinion. I intend to buy HOWA, SUPREME varminter 223, 24. "twist is 1:12. These guns with a small twist does not exist.
Does the rifle able to shoot over long distances
I am interested in the results and the accuracy of twist 1:12 in the greater distances from 300 to 500-600m+ or what gr. ball for the distance in this twist to use.

I am interested in a proposal for any other rifle in this price range that you can use a greater distance, because in our country I can not find the gun with 1:9 twist
Thank you for your advice and opinions

First, fill out your profile, and become a member of this Forum, as this isn't some "Ask Jeevs" kind of website.
A 1-12 .223 is made for pushing Varmint bullets (40grn-55grn) or there abouts really fast. To get good accuracy at long range you are going to want to push a heavy bullet with high BC, which in turn will mean a faster twist.
