[QUOTE="DNADave, post: 1954657, member: 110467"] But, that's the point. The newer cartridges shine because factory chamberings have set them up for success with the best bullets available today. Many of our old favorites, .277 and even .284, are not. The .277 is hampered by a 1:10 and most .284s are hampered by a 1:9.5 (or slower as we've seen in this thread). Set our old favorites up for success in the same way as the 6.5s or the 300PRCs and it's a different story. It's a shame that most manufacturers are not keeping up with the times for the old chamberings. Maybe someone like Bergara will step up and lead the way. I can't imagine Remington or Winchester doing it and Tikka is still hampering their big 30s with a 1:11. Christensen and others in this class don't count as they are out of the price range of most buyers. [/QUOTE]
