What's the next cartridge to be resurrected?

.25 Creedmoor filled that hole, unfortunately.

The fact that you can fit a 25 WSSM in an AR seems lost on everyone.
With Hornady making 25 Creedmoor brass, it signals to me that they are going to start making more .257 bullets. That's what will bring back the 25s. Bullet availability has been the real issue. If there are more choices and higher production, you'll see more cartridges being produced and we'll see a bump for the .25-06 the Bob, 257 Weatherby etc.

I'm here for it!

On the one hand my 25 WSSM prints bungholes and is a blood trail machine with 115gr NBTs. On the other it doesn't handle heavy bone reliably. So, I may have a summer project:

I like that 32 ACP, that's a great round

And with modern bullets and powder it would actually be pretty effective.

It would be perfect in a mouse gun for people who are recoil sensitive or don't have the hand strength to even rack a 380 in that small a package.
 
On that theme I'm surprised no one mention 25 ACP.

Better ballistics than 22LR, which is chambered in lots of 'self defense' guns, and the reliability of centerfire vs. rimfire. You could fit a lot of them in a very small package and again, with modern bullets and powders make a pretty interesting little pocket gun.

I have a Beretta 3032, it ain't no range gun. 1/2 box of shells, you'll be ready to set it down.....A Walther P series would shoot well

I ain't a fan of 25, but I have one. Just one
