[QUOTE="JemezDave, post: 2029258, member: 108070"] You’re partially right, but mostly incorrect. All the calibers you’re thinking of were designed 70 plus years ago. You can’t take an off the shelf .243 and decide you want to shoot 120 grain bullets in it without modifying everything. I had a 600 Remington in .243 that wouldn’t stabilize the 105 grain bullets due to slow twist rate, so was stuck with 87-90 grain bullets for it. With the new offerings they can optimize magazines, twist, and chambers but then it’s new. I welcome the new offerings because manufacturers are finally giving us more of what we have been asking them to build. Life is good! [/QUOTE]
