[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1602130, member: 93846"] Almost, if not all, factor rifles have historically used a 1 in 10" twist in their 25 caliber rifles. That is much too slow of twist rate for high BC/Low CD .257" diameter bullets. Tragically, because of this slow twist rate in the vast majority of .257" bores, major bullet manufacturers did not persue development of heavier high BC .25 caliber projectiles. If the bullet manufacturers had made the high BC .257" bullets readily available, I believe that the rifle manufacturers would eventually have provided the rifles with an appropriate twist rate. Cuss the 6.5 Creedmoor all you want but, because of its success rifle manufacturers are beginning to see just how big the wave of new longrange shooters is and the enormous market opportunities for faster twist rifles and high BC/low CD bullets in all calibers is. Personally, I'll probably build a fast twist (1 in 8" or 1 in 7", depending on what Hammer bullets are available) 25-06 AI next. [/QUOTE]
