[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 1177996, member: 95235"] I know this is an uphill battle and honestly saw most of these opposing points coming because they have been made before. I could argue back about all the reasons that this should be addressed in the market, but that was not my intention. I also understand that making a new and better bullet is literally rocket science and costs money. But I truly believe that this will happen (maybe shortly before Hell freezes over) but there is too much momentum in this direction for it not to happen. The simple fact that there are people out there making custom bullets proves there is a market. I was hoping that stirring this pot would rally some support and get some people's attention who follow these sites to see what the market is asking for. (Litz, Stecker...) chicken v egg- The bullet seemed like the better place to start because once its done all you need to do is cut rifling at a different twist rate. Unless there are intricacies to that process that require retooling as well. Maybe a barrel maker will weigh in here. Either way, I do not believe that there were that many people running a 1/8 twist in .277 and .284 until there were bullets that needed to be spun that fast. I know that if I built a 270 wsm with a fast twist for the EOL bullets when they were first announced I would have burned the barrel out before the first orange box actually shipped. I appreciate the info on Matrix and Hammer Bullets. Maybe this thread should be about a group buy so that I don't have to buy 1000 myself. For now, I have a 6.5 project (260 AI) that I am just starting so I am busy for a while. These projects move a lot slower after the first baby. Maybe by the time I get back to my 25-06 someone will see the light. Don't worry, I won't hold my breath. [/QUOTE]
