[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 611181, member: 10"] Well, my 270 Allen Magnum has been pretty much a dead stick since the old Wildcat Bullet company traded hands, a 170 gr Berger is welcome news. Hopefully they hold up as well as the other Hybrids I have shot in my Allen Magnums and it will again put the 270 AM back where it should be performance wise. The 195 gr 7mm, well, all I have to say is its about time!!! LOL I have shot enough 200 gr ULD RBBTs that are very slightly longer then the listed length of this bullet to know that, at least at 7mm Allen Magnum velocities, a 1-9 twist is PLENTY to keep them fully stabilized out to their supersonic limites. Now I understand that you guys are making bullets for the masses so they will need to be stabilized by lower velocity chamberings and would agree that the 1-8.5 will be needed for some smaller magnums. Still, I have not seen any problems with chamberings the size of the 7mm STW/Dakota and larger with the 200 gr bullets in 1-9 twists. Hopefully your new bullets will be the same way. If they can handle 3400 fps, they will be simply magical in the 7mm AM in long barreled rifles as this chambering certainly has the potential to reach this level of velocity with the 195 gr bullet weight. Sitting here on pins and needles to get some in the air and see what happens. Again, could be magical!!!! Thanks guys for pushing the envelope. Next step, a higher BC 375 bullet!!!! Get something in the .8 or higher G1 range that will stabilize in a 1-10 twist and you guys will have another winner. That should not be to hard to do, just scale up the 300 gr 338 hybrid and tweak it a bit and your there. [/QUOTE]
