[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 3072809, member: 21361"] I have both 25's and 6.5's. The Ackley book on wildcats had a .25 quick twist cartridge the featured a 1-7 twist barrel and 160 grain bullets back in 1954, I believe. When 1-8 twist barrels virtually did not exist, how the wildcatter ended up with a 1-7 back then is a mystery. A few thousandths of an inch in bore diameter can be incredible. Back in the 60's Remington sprung the 7mm mag on the public and could not meet the demand. The difference between .264 and .284 was apparent to most hunters at the time and barrel life of the 7mm could be proven to be better. The real reason Remington was so successful is they put their research into the bullets and the Corelokt was excellent for its time. The .264 Win mag languished, by comparison. Nowadays with all the superior 6.5 bullets available, the .264 magnum is a much better cartridge than it ever was back in the 1950's. [/QUOTE]
