[QUOTE="Elk Hunter 338, post: 1496786, member: 23509"] And I'm really confused on why every one is getting a stiffy about a 8.5 twist barrel and the optimized length of 3.700""!! Who makes a factory mag box that's 3.750" long???.. Most are 3.6 and change give or take or shorter and no one ive seen offers 3.750 Aics mag factory or 3.850 factory internal or DBM!! Ok so now you have a round that is "optimized" @3.700" and no rifles to put it in unless they are "optimized for a longer COAL,,,, but yet everyone always forgets that if you can "optimize" one for 3.700" you can optimize the other for 3.700 or 3.850" and actually compare apples to apples!!! but no one ever likes to do that because well lets face it, then they would actually see that the wheel is still round and doesn't need reinvented,, and in fact when "optimized" apples to apples the old war horse can hold its own against most new comers! Oh and it has probably a 100 different bullets brass ammo combos, 5 or more brass companies backing it by the boat load and more load data than probably any other cartridge made!! OH and By the way the 230 berger doesn't need an 8.5 twist nor does the 215 … ive shot them in 10 twist past a mile and would put the accuracy against any bullet ran through an 8.5 twist any day!!
