257 WSM vs. 264 WSM? .257-308 vs. 257-6mm?
Which would you rather have, or wish they'd load amongst the 2 of these? a .257 WSM, or a 264 WSM and why? Would you name the .264 WSM or 6.5mm WSM?
Also how would you like a .308 necked down to .257? 25 Souper I think it's called, also would you rather have a .257-308? or a .257-6mm Rem?

i like the 25 caliber better, no really good reason except personal preference, so i would say a 257wsm, which i would buy today if it were a legit cartridge and the 25-308, another one that i would own today if it were legitimized.

First things the 250-3000 Savage IS a ligitimized 257-308 its like .1 " shorter I don't have my book in hand . It pre-dates the 308 by a couple decades . And just what did we do with the 25 WSM , same performance as the 25-06' 308 length ? It is in production . I forgot about the 257 roberts .

Actually the .257 WSM is NOT the same performance as the 25-06. It is much closer to that of the .257 WBY Mag. To answer the original question, I hope they will dump the POS 25 WSSM and do the 25 WSM. A .264 or 6.5 WSM is just to close to the .270 WSM. I mean really, what you going to gain in a whopping .006 less diameter of a bullet?
