[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1375098, member: 12995"] Because for 40+ years, nobody offered much heavier than a 175 grain low BC roundnose or soft point bullet for the 7mmRM in their factory loaded ammunition. And the minimum twist for those is 1:9.5". They are too cheap to update their tooling to accommodate modern twist rates for older cartridges. It's a **** shame, too...Because they think they're saving money, when in reality, they're losing sales, so they're losing a LOT more money than they're actually saving. If Remington would listen to its customers, I bet you they could be the best selling rifle company on the market once again. But they need somebody to make those choices to progress them into the "now", instead of dwelling on what worked 20 years ago. The game (precision and distance) has changed, the bullets have changed, and gun needs have changed. Companies that don't progress with "the game" get left behind. If Remington would offer 5R rifled 1:8 twist 7mm barrels in all their cartridges, their 7mm cartridges sales would be through the roof! [/QUOTE]
