Newton was way ahead of the game and his time....


His .256 had a standard twist of 1 in 10",
and a bunch of taper ( .418" at the shoulder )


And even with those limitations a .256 will still push a 140 gr vld at 2850 and fit into a normal long action. Newton did not pick a 2.8"OAL because it was unheard of in his day and is still unnecessary. JMHO
