[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1297291, member: 12995"] Steve, that's exactly what I said... You just worded it differently. Lack of interest and updated twists by the rifle manufacturers gave bullet manufacturers a pass on certain calibers. They CHOSE to pick the 6.5mm and .30 caliber and .338 over everything else. The only companies producing 1:7 twist .224's are AR manufacturers. I haven't seen any bolt-actions with a proper 1:7 twist .224 barrel. I haven't seen a proper 1:7 or 1:8 twist .257 barrel, or a 1:8 7mm barrel. And these are all EXTREMELY popular calibers with tons of different cartridges these calibers that are used everyday for hunting and target shooting. But the manufacturers chose to ignore the wants of the common man, and chose to only pursue their own vested interests, which will bite them in the ***** in the end. BUT, they all produce 1:8 6.5mm barrels and 1:10 .30 caliber barrels... They are picking and choosing which bullets advance and which ones don't. They don't care what we think. I would say this has caused some cartridges to suffer. 10-20 years ago everybody still loved the .25-06... Now everyone wants a 6.5-06... You still don't certain cartridge's have slipped in popularity? When's the last time you seen someone choose to build a .257 Roberts +P over a 6.5 Creedmoor? [/QUOTE]
