What's the next cartridge to be resurrected?

Sooner or later someone will develop a powder that will push 40 s/w to 10 mm ballistics and it will be popular again.

Better stock up on components, then.

I already have. My 257 is one of the last rifles I would ever get rid of.

I likes a 1/4 bore....257 Wby. I don't like the price of the ammo. A bit hard to find too

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

Me too.. my grandmother's Colt 1908 that she carried to work when Tybee was still kinda wild during Prohibition.
I've replaced the corroded barrel and all springs.j

Mine's a Beretta 950. Carried it for a number of years till they came out with the 3032. Started with a Jennings 22

I'd like the national firearms act to be amended to exempt from all the restrictions and taxation requirements any firearm that is chambered only to shoot
.17 Mach 2. (.17 rimfire, but non-magnum.)

THAT would spur a revitalization of that cartridge for sure.

The 17HM2 is the ultimate squirrel hunting round. It does 85-90% of what the HMR can do at half the cost and less bulky ammo. I think it was hurt by being introduced after the HMR and the sad fact that there just aren't that many squirrel hunters anymore. Everyone is after those big horns for the 'Gram!

My favorite squirrel rifle is in 17 Mach 2!

Which one? I think savage is the only maker currently offering them new.

Well, the .17 HMR is definitely a longer range proposition and the extra velocity is useful for killing varmints.

But I'd own several guns in 17 Mk2 if the price were even close to the same ballpark as 22LR, but because price and availability is a factor I stay away from the "17" in all of its forms and variations.

.223 Timbs in a PCC

With all the new 6.5 rounds coming out, the 264 mag would be nice to see
