I think there were some long obsolete bore sizes in the .290’s. I assume manufacturers eventually migrated toward a certain array of bore sizes as bullet technology improved, as there could be more variation in bullet weight and design, that performance and application was no longer dependent on its bore size. I guess it’s the same reason .224 pushed .228 into obsolescence, .268 disappeared with the Carcano, .284 beat the .289 (or was it .287?) of the .280 Ross’ bullet, and many others.
