Interesting. Please describe it.

223 necked up to .257.
supposed to have savage 250-3000 ballistics
i have had one for 2 years and find it a great round. But, you have to really work to get 250 savage ballistics.
the other thing is if you have a .223 you have to be careful not to grab your 25-45 ammo when using the .223, yeah i know but i am getting old and can't read headstamps well anymore and the difference in .223 and .257 bullets is hard for me to see anymore.
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee

I looked at it and can't really feel the love. I'd not attempt anything with it that couldn't be done with a .223 with 75's.
Saying you can get .250 Savage performance out of a 25-45 is the same as saying you can get .22-250 performance out of a .223. Same capacities involved. I just ain't seeing it with like pressures and barrel lengths.
If I were looking for any performance increase on a '15 platform, I'd be looking at the Grendel case. I'd bet a dollar somebody's necked a Grendel (or a 6.8, for that matter) to .257.
Of course, if you have a big pile of .223 brass and a big pile of .257 bullets (or if you just want to), rock on.

Color code by the boxes. A Sharpie comes in handy, too.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

A Grendel or 6.8/Valkyrie case is an improvement but if you want the ultimate in a AR15 type rifle. use a WSSM case. They cut down magazine capacity but make bank on fps, if that's important. I had a Dtech 243 WSSM upper I let go when I shouldn't have.
