[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2051840, member: 38048"] There is a point of no gain in making bullets longer. The 131 already needs a 7 twist at 3000 fps. Much more twist than that and bullets fly apart from too much RPM. Even if you go to solids more twist equals more pressure. The 131 is probably just right in the size it can go too. We just need gun companies to start putting 7 to 8 twist barrels on all the 257 anything's. Then the bullets will come. Interesting to see what happens to the 277 bullets now that Winchester is doing an 8 twist. Will all the companies make a bullet for it? Time will tell. But I'm getting old so hurry up please.
