I don't know where the sweet spot is & am too lazy or mathematically inept to figure it. But longer range shooters moved to the 6.5 for as good or better wind & trajectory than the 308 & were looking for less recoil. Then.......... as bullets got better many moved to the 6mm for same trajectory numbers with even less recoil.
There is a spot that minimal recoil & superior trajectory meet, that spot is simply waiting on bullet designs that the 25 has yet to be blessed with.
Not saying it's at .257 but it hovers close.
Hell, they keep tightening the twist & bringing out new bullets, the .224 might be the one??????????
You’ve probably already seen this but just in case and for others out there. An interesting article-
