    I don't think it was ever made as an off the shelf option but I could be wrong.
    I had one made many years ago and I did a write up on it in NZ Guns. It was a great Cal and as said it sits between the .243 and .260, mine used to push the 120grn at just over 2900fps. I also had mine rechambered to AI but there was very little gain . The .25 Cal just needs a better new range of projectiles like the Ace 131 from Blackjack.
