From my standpoint, and only because I like the round, the fact that Ruger made the Hawkeye pistol, and Marlin a Levermatic chambered in .256 Winchester Magnum, perhaps a now joint company can come up with something reasonably priced in that chambering?
A Marlin 94 chambered in .357 doesn't seem like something hard to convert to a .257 cal barrel, does it? If you ever see that you better jump without hesitation. That is such a tiny niche market it would have to be a Lipsey's to happen.
The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.

The interesting part of this for me is that Vista will own 3 out of the 4 domestic primer companies: Remington, Federal and CCI. Winchester will be the only outlier.

That is such a tiny niche market it would have to be a Lipsey's to happen. Rest assured, I will. I might just buy two, one to keep in the safe, unfired, as an investment.

In that, and off topic, to make 256 Win brass from 357 you would be coming in a bit short. 360 DW would work and give you more beef in the case head. I think as you work it down I wouldn't use a decapping pin or neck expander. I'd do that separately. The question is then if the chamber will safely allow that thicker neck or would they need to be turned.

Imagine if Bloomberg really wanted to make good on hurting gun owners...Vista has a market cap of only $1.1B. Write a check and physically dismantle the company.
