[QUOTE="scottyd2506, post: 1178633, member: 19778"] That is what I was saying, if Matrix can make a 160 in .264 with a ,680 BC, why can't they make a 153-155 in .257 with around a .670 - .680 bc Berger has high bc bullets for every caliber except .257. 25-06 rifles was are extremely popular and there is money to be made, but nope not one bullet over .5 bc, yet they make 4-5 for the 24 and 27's bore that no factory rifle has an 8 twist for. So the EXCUSE of "they wouldn't stabilize in the factory slow twist barrel, so we don't make em." I challenge Berger to show me one factory rifle in 270 win 270 wsm etc with a 8 twist, 99.99% of em are 10 twists. look a Hornady, the Vmax line of bullets. Great coyote bullets, they make good ones for the .22 .24 .26 . 27 and .28 the 87 grain vmax in ,243 has a bc of .400 the best you can get for the ,257 is a short stubby 75 vmax with a poor .290 bc move up to the 26 bore, a 95 vmax with a .365 bc the 27 bore gets a nice 110 vmax with with a .370 bc the 28 bore gets a 120 vmax with a .365 bc pretty good numbers for varmint bullets except the 25 There are rare exceptions I shoot the Sierra 90 grain Blitzkings out of my ,25-06 at 3550 3600 fps, they have a .388 bc coyotes are dead before they hit the dirt Anyways, I kinda gave up on the 25-06 as a long range gun.. the 115 bergers shoot well, but practice is killer on the barrel, this is an extreme overbore round.. throats erode quick.. mine has well over 1300-1500 rounds-- accuracy is not what it once was, This kind of rifle you get a load made up quick and use it for hunting [/QUOTE]
