New Berger fast twist 257 Bullet.

[FOTIS]

For those who know me well you know I an NOT a huge berger fan. I like stout bullet construction and exit holes If I can stack the deck.

Anyway they came out with a fast twist 135 gr 257 bullet. Nice BC too.

I agree with you on robust bullet construction and exit wounds on big game. That weight and BC sure is impressive for the 25 cals.

I wish my 25 creedmoor had a 1:8 twist instead of 1:9.

Hmm- all you need now is a 25WSM. CL

I’d bet it’ll fetch deer sized animals pretty well though.

It’s amazing the 270 barely cracks the 600 mark but Berger drop a 25 with high 600’s! It’s crazy how bullet development is going these days.

These days are definitely the good old days.

Funny how had the .25 is trying to be a 6.5.... you can buy a half dozen 6.5 bullets with stats like that... and almost every 6.5 ever made will shoot them.

Or.....

You could buy a specialty bullet for your special twisted barrel.... and get the same performance.

Building a fast twist .25 just to shoot this bullet (or one of the other boutique bullets).... just because you don’t want to shoot a 6.5.... is like wearing swim-trunks to church, just because everyone else is wearing slacks.

Shoot your .25/100 grain NBT at 3000-3400 FPS..... and clobber stuff out to 400 or more.... just like you ALWAYS have. Leave the long skinny bullets the metric calibers (6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm).

I for one am hoping to see a fast twist factory .25 rifle to shoot these bullets. 25 PRC, SAUM or whatever. I would buy one.

I'm happy to see all the advancements in shooting stuff today . this technology could / will carry over to other caliber bullets .this is the kind of thinking that got us past the patched round ball . it's a win win for us shooters .
