.223 Wylde was created by Bill Wylde and the back story is that all 5.56 chambered rifles could shoot .223 safely at the expense of SOME accuracy. The Wylde chamber narrowed the gap between the two and can accurately shoot .223 and yet handle the case pressure of 5.56 safely. 1:7 I would definitely recommend but the length is arguable. Just saying what I would personally do (and have ordered).
What is it you plan to shoot with your Varmint barrel? I ask because everyone is suggesting a 1:7 twist to shoot heavy bullets yet varmint bullets are generally lighter bullets. Since I don't know what you plan to shoot, I would suggest 1:8 or 1:9 so you could shoot a wider variety of bullets.
