When I was hunting feverishly, 270 win was the holy grail cartridge. 257 Weatherby was the big brother of 25-06. Then, Nosler Partition was savior. Now with the advent of LRH, bullet makers almost ignor these two calibers, concentrating on 6mm, 6.5mm, and 7mm. Does the word metric bring mysterious attracion to shooters?
Another thing that I was taught to believe. Long shank bullet equates more bearing surface, causing friction and heat, resulting in barrel wear and velocity robbing (diminishing returns).
Now most efficient bullets are high BC without regard to the long shank theory. I was a strong believer of not less than 3,000fps muzzle velocity for violent shocking power, relying on Nosler Partition core to plough thru. LRH no longer talk about hydrolic shock that Roy tauted. Please kindly enlighten.
