[QUOTE="SimsonSuhl7x65R, post: 3904343, member: 50989"] What I meant by giving the quarter bore the “Creedmoor treatment” is that I wonder when someone will develop a mass produced, SAAMI approved cartridge that is maximally optimized for high BC, heavy for caliber bullets in a short or standard action with fast twist rate barrels and as a result, creating the production of mass produced rifles chambered in said cartridge. I don’t think it’s been done yet? Similar to what has been done with the 22, 6 mm and 6.5 Creedmoor, the 6.5 PRC, 6.8 Western, 7 PRC and the 224 Valkyrie and 6mm ARC in ARs. Also 300 PRC (although a long action). I think the only calibers left that haven’t had the “Creedmoor treatment” yet are the .257 and the .338? Out of popular North American calibers anyway… Leaving out the 33 Nosler (along with most of the Nosler cartridges) because, although it does use modern bullet technology, it’s probably not as efficient as others mentioned and I’m guessing it’s more of an overbore cartridge.
