Sure they will. They just wanted to cover standard factory twists first. That makes sense.

I don't suppose load info will be in Nosler #7?

That is the easy part buddy. Use standard AB BT data and work up. Just as accurate as any manual.
Even if the manual was made specifically with these in mind it still is a reference.
Now if we were talking E-tips or such then yes huge pressure difference,

I understand this, but don't at the same time. The people that are actually shooting these things "long range" aren't typically using a factory twist, let alone a factory gun. I mean if you're going to cater to the LR crowd then go all in right! 8)

...still don't see a 220gr. 8mm, but I guess we all know who's to blame for that, eh???

very impressive b.c.
are they realistic? they're quite a bit above bergers.
i will surely try them in .284 150 gr for my 7WSM and in .308 210 gr for my RUM.

Actually on a serious note if anyone can get some of these early I will shoot the 210 in the 300 Norma on my range out to 2k for a .bc assessment. the .230 betters made the trip. 70.5 moa but they got there. if the bc is what they are claiming and I can get them to shoot well along with a small sd I will use them in matches. so what do you say?

That low end velocity envelope has changed things a lot in my thinking. I haven't in the past needed the extra range. However with age and less mobility, I am reconsidering my thoughts. If they perform even within a 100 fps of that, they are impressive. One can lessen the importance of velocity and energy, look to mass and momentum. Not having what I consider reliable bullets below that 18-1900 fps range, has been my single most aversion to long range hunting. These bullets have me excited to say the least. The 7mm's and .30's will get some shooting time without a doubt.
Finally, the LR bullet that fills my visions!!!
Please excuse my ignorance. My 7 STW is a 1:9 twist which is faster than the 1:9.5 twist. So, with that in mind, my rifle should stabilize the 168 grain and the 175 grain bullet?
I am still trying to figure out what happened with the 168 grain LRX Barnes bullet and the key-holing that I was working on in a previous post :? .
