[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1757131, member: 88320"] No I think 6.5 is a better choice because of the support with factory rifles with fast twist, tons of bullet support and the 6.5 fad( it’s a fad for good reason). Even tho it’s a flooded 6.5 market they did hit on some tweaks that aren’t being offered like standard bolt face with mag velocities. 25 has no fast twist factory options and very small bullet selection for fast twist. If they made it a 1/10 twist like most 25 then it would just be a unbelted 257 wby with similar velocity. Not much a niche. Now if they would have had someone like Hornady release a new line of bullets in 25 cal to fit a fast twist at the same time as they released the cartridge they could have created a market. Looking at it from a factory/ trying to make $ and sell guns they 6.5 was a smarter choice [/QUOTE]
