( I missed the Rem 700 post)-edit
I think you get into the bullet length/mag constraint/bullet construction/velocity cycle
although the new hornady 25-35 bullet might be short enough .
if you just want it because it's different, go for it.
there are so many good .224 bullets, it's probably hard to improve on the original.
But it can be fun to try!
Sharp is making their own loaded 100 gr flat point or roundnose, to fit the magazine, I think, but only available in loaded ammo.
except for the 86 gr 25-20 bullets, most .257 bullets are meant for higher velocities than you'll get from a 25 Sharps.
Something to think about.
Maybe a 25 on the 6.8 case?
