Twist for a 7mm, and the G1 and G7 BCs are noticeably higher?

Because I have a 25-06. Well, my son does anyway. If BC is what you’re chasing, there are a couple of better offerings to be had from Hornady than the Berger even. I was simply looking for the best quarter bore bullet I could find.

And while some manufacturers do twist 1:9 (or faster) for for 7mms, the vast majority of factory offerings (by a goodly margin) are slower than that..Remington, Win, Tikka, Ruger, etc..

I get your point that given twist and BC the 190 is a pretty terrific offering, but Berger offers more than the one bullet for a reason. Not everyone wants to shoot a 7mm.
