It was designed for the shorter bullets of its time.
The bullets and twist.
With the Weatherby being the only other option in that caliber,
It was twisted the same.

So, no one wanted to make bullets that wouldn't work in the barrels available.

In turn no one made barrels for bullets that didn't exist.



25 caliber has the exact same quandry.
