NEED SOME HELP

I am looking at building a gun and I was wondering if anyone had any data on the 25 stw or 25-300 or 25-7mm I am leaning towards one of these any and all help appreciated thanks in advance. Here is what I would like to do I want to be able to shoot a 75-100 grain bullet somwhere between 3700-4000 fps mainly for varmints. If you have a different calbire you think might work better just let me know. Also looking for a couple actions. Thanks
 
I think a .264 Win Mag in a 26" or a 28" barrel, shooting Sierra's 85 grainers or Hornady's 95 V-Max on top of some Alliant or Hodgdon stuff, might just do the trick. But if you must absolutely use a .25 bore, there's nothing wrong with the .257 Wby Mag or better still, the .257 STW designed by Layne Simpson, after his brainchild the 7mm STW.
 
Can you give me some info on the .264 and the .257 STW. What are the fps. velocity, any info is great thanks in advance.
