All I know is I haven't seen any indication that bullets are getting shorter.
LOL, they're not however, the .224 63 grain Sierra SMP is a very short bullet(semi pointed) for it's weight. I just got off the phone with Sierra, and they assure me that this bullet will stabilize in up to a 1 in 15 twist barrel.
I'm looking for a bullet for a Savage 24 in 223 over 20 gauge that will effectively kill small to medium size deer and at the same time not destroy coyote or fox fur and I'm thinking this might be the bullet, because that Savage 24 in 223 has a 1 in 14 twist so I'm kinda limited as to bullet weight/length choices.
I also called Thompson Center this morning as their website doesn't give any barrel twist specs for Encore barrels and the .223 and 22-250 Encore barrels are a 1 in 12 twist if anyone is interested
