[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1738803, member: 109113"] I think that bullets like this will come into more common use as we see more and more rifles become available with fast-twist barrels. These new cartridges are gaining popularity, and they are all chambered in barrels with pretty steep rifling twist rates. Back in the day, my old 22-250 ( with the 1-in-14" twist ) maxed out with the 70-grain Speer semi-spitzer. Nothing longer than that would stabilize. That was OK, because this bullet worked fine for smallish deer - as did a few other bullets of around 60-65 grains. These newer cartridges & bullets, though, ought to be somewhat better. The Valkyrie has pretty much filled any perceived gap between the older .224's and the 6mm's. Being able to handle the long & heavy bullets is the reason why, but bullet construction remains the key to shooting deer with smaller cartridges. [/QUOTE]
