One I know of is the .25 Souper (spel) there is a good write up about it in the most recent Handloader Mag. Faster than a standard .257 Bob and not quite all that a Bob improved or a 25-06 is. The old .308 vs. 30-06 thing brought to a smaller scale.

The .25 Souper is about the only .308 based cartridge I haven't owned at one time or the other. I may have to work on that. But a Bob imp. would work too.........

Don't overlook the 257DGR. It is the ballistic twin of the 25 Souper but I like the case design better. A bit less body tapper, a longer neck and a 30 degree shoulder.

You can find more information on it at these web pages:
