[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1293421, member: 12995"] Because the big factories stopped designing .257 caliber cartridges, which in turn led to the bullet manufacturers leaving it behind. The only "why" I can't figure out, is why they originally stopped designing .257 cartridges, but they did. I think the slow factory 1:10 twists had a lot to do with it. I think that's why a lot of people stopped using .257's...Because they could get get faster twists in other calibers, but not the .257. Instead of them producing faster twists, they just ignored it hoping it would go away. Just like they did to the 8mm. Personally, I love my .25-06 AI, and I'll always have one in the safe. Slinging 115 VLD's at nearly 3,400 fps MV is pretty solid. [/QUOTE]
