[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1736549, member: 38048"] I switched from 257 to 6.5 because of the bullet selection. Bibb makes a 110 with a 520 bc that shoots great out of a 10 twist.i don't know why we can't have a 257 with a high bc that doesn't require a 7 twist. And all the fans of the 270 are dissed too. 6.5 and 7mm get all the great bullets. 6mm is looking real good now too. Until the gaps are filled the 6.5 and 7mm and 30 are going to be hard to beat. Shep John just give up on your 6.5 creed issue. Does it really matter how you make the 1200 ft pounds to kill with. And no not everybody wants a real flat shooting gun anymore. In the 80s and 90s I shot 257 wby because it shot flat and I couldn't carry a 3 ft wide military surplus Rangefinder in the field. Now rangefinders are dime a dozen and are reliable. So trajectory isn't really an issue anymore. But wind drift is because you still have to guess. So a heavy high bc bullet gives you much less wind drift than a fast light bullet. Less chance for error. The advances in bullets and rangefinders has dramatically changed long range hunting. Shep [/QUOTE]
