RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
All listed except the 22-250 are based upon the 308 case (all necked down). The 22-250 shares the same bolt head diameter (.473) but is based on the 250 savage (aka 250-3000) case. If you want a 25 caliber short action cartridge with the standard bolt head, your options are the 250 savage, 257 roberts can work on a short action but full potential wont be realized, or a wildcat based on the 308 case ( i believe it's called the 25 souper). There is also improved versions of both the 250 savage and the 257 roberts.
Yes, there is a wildcat version called a 25 Souper.Originally Posted by scope eye
25-06 best ever. MARK 25-06
Although the 25-06 is my personal favorite there is one better that will work in a short action, the wildcat 257-WSM

BTW, Ed.........got mine built, came out very well too. ;D
Built a 25 SAUM "just because I could" too.
My 25 cal itch has about been scratched.....time to move to 6.5 now.
25-284 also has .473 bolt face and will have plenty of powder in a true short action rig.

257 stw, the manly 25 cal haha
Hi any one know anything about the 257wsm? good bad or ugly.

Unless you have the need for the fastest thing out there, take a look at the 250 Ackely Improved. I am getting near 25-06 performance with about 20% less powder.
