[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1180640, member: 12995"] Oh, I'm no stranger to the customs...Got several in the safe. :D. It's just that they still have plenty of barrel life left, so it's hard to justify the new blank when there's still plenty of life left in the ones already on them. I was just curious if it was something possible for the .25's with the standard 10" twist, since my .25-06 AI has the 10" twist, and lots of barrel life left. It just seems that with all the new heavy non-standard twist requirement bullets being made, that the manufacturers are using the standard twist for certain less-popular bullets as a crutch to avoid doing the R&D. I could be completely wrong, and it could just be a very hard thing to do, as I've never designed or swaged a bullet, but you can see how it might appear that way, from a consumer point of view.
