[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1295925, member: 72601"] I guess my thing with the 257 cal is you can take any 25 cal and neck it up to a 6.5 or down to a 6mm and get the same or better performance. Let's take the 25-06 for example. The 6.5-06 with 120s is the same thing then you have the option of going up to 140 or even 160 class which will paste a 25-06 Then we can go 6mm-06 with 105s and blistering fast speeds to shoot flatter than the 25 variant while still maintaining nearly the same energy. So the thing I struggle with is why it's even in existence. The 6mm starts at 58ish and goes to 115. The 6.5 goes from 85-160. I belive the 257 is 75-120. The 6mm and 6.5s already have those weights covered. [/QUOTE]
