Hey guys my next project will be a super hot 25 caliber, built on a remington action. Any one out there have one of these?? I am thinking this would be a great parent case. Thanks!

Hvym8t,

Do not have one personally but a fellow gunsmithing friend of mine build a bench rifle chambered to that round and is shooting the 75 gr V-Max to 4100 fps with 10 shot groups well under 1/2" at 100 yards.

Just built a couple fully blueprinted M700 chambered for the 257 STW. One for a customer and one for myself. I also have one I just started on and should finish next week.

This my friend is a real sreamer. My limited testing with my rifle which wears a 26.5" barrel is getting 3900 fps with the 100 gr Ballsitic Tip with 1/2" three shot groups at 100 yards out os a very light sporter contour barrel.

The longer and heavier 115 gr Ballsitic Silvertips are doing well so far also. Using Retumbo, I have gotten them up to 3550 fps with very mild pressure and 3/4 moa groups.

If you want the highest performing 257, the STW is hard to beat. I've got the reamer, let me know if you want me to build one for you!

Good Shooting!!!
