[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2573177, member: 7999"] It is difficult to start manufacturing rifles in old cartridges with new fast twist barrels. Problem is the guy with the old rifle will try new ammo not understanding his slow twist barrel will not stabilize the new long bullets. This is why you see the creedmoor show up. Or the 6.8 Western. New cartridge with faster twist barrels and no mix up with ammo. Plan now is to run as heavy as we can with current lines as well as push Roy's high speed dreams possibly further than he thought. I see some 257 Wby running 3700 fps in the near future. New cartridges with faster twist could be a possibility too. We will see. Right now they are running a 170g Hammer Hunter that we designed specifically for Weatherby. [/QUOTE]
