[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 57228, member: 10"] Brian Winzor, I agree with your comments totally, why the industry has not adopted the 1-9 twist for the 25 caliber modern rounds really is a mystery to me. A 1-8 would be even better but I have not seen to many 25-06 and 257 Wby rifles shoot the 117 gr Boattails or the 120 gr bullets with fine accuracy. Sure some shoot into 1 moa groups but on average they do not perform with the heavy bullets which has really limited the likes of the 25-06 which is a far better round then its given credit for. The 25-06 AI is also a great round. About those 130 gr Bonded Cores, I used them on two deer this season. A nice mature whitetail doe at 502 yards and on a 340 lb whitetail buck. They performed great and that was with a launch speed of 3470 fps. Richard has redesigned this bullet with a heavy tapered jacket so they will handle the strain of a close range impact when fired out of my 257 AM at a projected 3650 fps for the 130 gr pill. If I could figure out how to post pics on the new board I would show off the new 257 AM as I got the reamer and chambered a fireforming barrel. Looks pretty nice!!! This barrel is only 25" long and already it is topping the 257 STW out of a 26" barrel with the 130 gr pills using AA8700. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
