Default New Modern Cartridge Failures?

It's been said before, but what we're they thinking?

The .25WSSM, which is basically a shorter .25-06, same ballistics. Why not a .25 Souper (ie .25-308) or a .257 WSM?

The .308 has now been necked up/down to almost every caliber and is commercially loaded, so why not a .257-308? Maybe Remington should ressurect its 6mm as a new .257-6mm Rem. Beat everyone else to it! and since they 6mm beats the .243 but isn't popular, maybe this would be the best thing to do.I know the .308 comes in.....243 win, 260 Rem, 7mm-08, 308, 338 Federal, viable gap is the .257 I think, and please don't load a .270-308, though i bet this would be the first one they do, accroding to track records....

The .338 federal? Did we need a .338-308? I would suspect more guys would want a .338-06 though I don't need either of these.

I know guys love the .270 WSM, and it beats the .270 Win by 100-200fps, but .270 is already a great round, I'd rather have seen a .264(6.5mm)WSM released than the .270 WSM, I already have a .270 Win.
