    New .257 Wildcat Cartridge: The 2Fity-Hillbilly

    Well.....isn't this interesting....

    Couple the above with the Blackjack 131gr ACE match bullet?

    The Speer 120gr BTSP with .480 BC?

    If nothing else.....I REALLY like the name

    I'd like to get one for the name but there is no performance difference of the hundreds of other cartridges in this area.

      Agreed....but....I'm betting you'd be the only .257 131gr shooter on the line....

        It has the potential to put the 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Creedmoor out of business. I need to see actual ballistics numbers though.

          My friend Richard Mann named this....
          He is a true class act, that has much practical knowledge.

            I'm not sure I follow on how it'll put the Grendel out of business. This doesn't fit in an AR-15 or a mini action, and that's about the only thing the Grendel has going for it.

              It's based on the 6.5 CM, the Grendel isn't going anywhere.

                The 25 Souper has been around for over 50 years and is the 308 Win case necked down to .257. It will give you better performance.

                    You're right. My bad. I wasn't paying close enough attention.
