[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1370892, member: 101677"] Too many obstacles from an economic standpoint. First You need high bc bullets requiring a 1:8 twist then you need a saami approved cartridge with that 1:8 twist followed by rifle and ammo manufacturers to make the stuff...the small minority of ppl who would reload for a long range 1/4 bore don’t affect any companies bottom line. And if you don’t make money then soon you’re not making anything(rifles,bullets,etc) Having .257 cal competitive long range doesn’t really matter. In the end, high bc, high velocity looks better on paper, it still comes down to proper marksmanship and doping your shot correctly. Push a 115vld to 3300fps, it’s performance is reasonable out to a certain distance...better than a 308 with 168gr bullets...but if I need to make a shot, I still take out my 308. Lol Besides gun companies run on the mind set of, “If i get this, I can shoot this.” Right now that’s the 6.5 creedmoors. I’ve had my weak moments too, lol [/QUOTE]
