25 RPM released today.

They should've necked the 7PRC down to 257 but I get why they wanted to use a proprietary cartridge as their base rather than a Hornady one.

The 7 PRC is real close to 257 wby case size. They don’t want to say “it’s like our classic but in a better case designed by hornady and with a fast twist.”

I like it. Doubt I’ll ever build one but I don’t like wildly overbore and this should be enough to be impressive without gettin too crazy.

I’ve had both the 25-6.5 and the 25-7 built. The 25-7 is almost exactly what you said: a modernized 257Wby. The 25-6.5 is a modernized 25-06, maybe 25-06AI. Case capacity is so close that I used 25-06 load data as starting points for my own.
