[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1436630, member: 12995"] No, no factory rifles I'm aware of with faster than a 1:10". That's been industry standard since the beginning. The 115 Berger is the only bullet they offer...Pretty pathetic if you ask me. Now you see why us 1/4-bore guys are always bitching about our lack of bullet options... .22, 243, 264, 277, 284, 308, 338...All have high-BC long range offerings from every brand. See anything missing? The .257 and .323 (8mm) markets were the sacrificial lambs left behind on purpose by the industry. And it's obvious...And dumb. They want to push the 6mm, 6.5mm, and .338 markets for competition shooters, but there's NO .257 comp shooters because nobody offers any LR and comp-worthy .257 bullets. It's plain and simple. You can't shoot what they don't make. Make it, and it will become a big thing again. Like Field of Dreams... "If you build it...They will come." If companies would get behind it, cartridges like the .25-06 AI and a .257 Sherman would be serious LR shooting competitors, and LR hunting machines. I think the market is too vested in this 6.5mm craze, and is scared to produce it, because the outcome would overshadow the 6.5's until they get up into the 155-160 grain range, then the 6.5mm will beat it.
