[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1371105, member: 87243"] .257 lives matter!!! I don't have a .257, but all jokes aside, we are all people involved in long range, we are constantly looking forward to what is new, how can we improve, what new components will come out next.....to wish for companies to stop moving forward on calibers that have a slim choice of quality long range bullets and instead focus on calibers that already have EXTENSIVE high quality long range bullets.....sorry if this sounds blunt, but is somewhat narrow minded.....to me, a .257 cal 140 grain Berger EOL would give me a reason to build a bad *** antelope killing 25-06 AI. But, I have a .260 AI and shoot 140 Bergers at 3070, why would I want a different cartridge that would have only a minimal improvement in performance?? BECAUSE I CAN!! Who doesn't like building something new, different, fun? My buddy rebarreled his .270 WSM to...... .270 WSM, with a 1:8 twist....just the shoot the Berger 170 EOL. So my question in turn would be instead, why let a caliber die?? They will always build more 6mm's, 6.5's, 7's, 30's, and so on....we have little or no .257's or .270's. To wish companies to let them die is simply counter productive [/QUOTE]
