[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2024053, member: 104363"] Even though "science" and the shooting public is putting a premium on the 6-7mm sweet spot, the twist rate of factory offerings for the 270 Win market is stalling it's advance, which kills other 277 bore offerings. What is stopping factory gun builders from providing a higher twist rate and 2 or 3 new lines of factory ammo? I don't see a 1:8 twist killing a 277 130 gr bullet's accuracy that we have today. My 7mm 8.5 twist shoots a 140 gr extremely well. With CNC rifling machines, a simple program change and "maybe", a slightly improved cutter design. The ammo makers would be able to add more products and cash to their bottom line. Seems like a 'bottom up' demand from ammo makers to do this. Seems like a win-win for all parties. [/QUOTE]
