It is a real concern for them that if they just charged the twist and made heavy bullets available, that morons would buy that ammo and then bitch about poor performance. Gotta remember educated shooters on forums like this are a SMALL minority of shooters. Idiots would most DEFINITELY buy ammo their gun couldn't shoot. And they'd most certainly publicly bash the ammo matter for making crap ammo their fun can't shoot.

You gotta play to the lowest common denominator. The easiest way? New cartridge with new SAAMI specs.


Exactly. And if you don’t think it rates, then get what you do like.

Me, I’m down for faster twists in factory guns myself. They don’t hurt a darn thing for shooting Power Points but will shine with some sleek Bullets. It’s a win win.
