[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1821931, member: 109113"] I think that the super long & heavy, high BC .224" bullets will be all the rage. This is going to spawn the next controversy on all the forums about "is it, or isn't it big enough to shoot deer with." This will get everybody all riled up, just like the way they go after the guys who hunt elk with the 6.5 Creedmoor. Same story on a different size scale - but the rifle builders and bullet makers will go to town fueling the fire, and we'll all have fun with it. I also think that we'll see the "gap-fillers" jump on board with .277- and .257-inch bullets as long as a pencil, as has already been pointed out in this thread. This is also a good thing, and there will be something for everybody. The only thing that will be consistent across the board is this - bullets that are long & heavy for caliber, with high BC's, and fast-twist barrels to shoot them through. This is the concept that is taking over in the hunting & shooting industry, and the optics & accessories will be developed to feed this frenzy. Everybody benefits in the end. [/QUOTE]
