Everybody's making .224, .308, and .355 bullets.
.257 is one step up in popularity from 9.3mm.

Those heavy Bergers are useless in 99.97% of existing .25 caliber rifles. I hope the idea gains traction, but the only reason they're available is because there's so few people that can use them at this time.
I suggest to bomb the manufacturer's with Email's.

I have a bunch of older boxed 25 cal bullets if you PM with interests and I can see if there is something you need.

Are you wanting hunting bullets or target bullets?
Speer will have some available for a day or 2 randomly. Hammer will build to order and deliver in a fairly timely manner. Some Hornady, Berger, Lehigh, and Nosler showing up on Ammoseek.com: https://ammoseek.com/reloading/bullets/.257-diameter/
I have a bit of a selection of boxes on my shelf if there is something specific you are looking for. Most of them I would trade for .257 115gr Partitions....

Man, I hear that
I would bet that the reason they have 135 grain bullets in stock is just like what Adam said they need more twist than most of the rifles were built with. Ive owned a 25-06 since 1989, and Ive never shot a bullet out of it over 120 grain. Nobody made bullets over 120 so no barrels had a twist fast enough to stabilize for bullets that would not be made for another 30 years.

I always heard the BT was supposed to be the easy way out. I tried a couple different loads and no joy. My first time out with 115 Partitions was instant success. Go figure.
Yep. Screwed on a 1:9" Bartlein on my M77, the 5th group on my initial ladder started stacking rounds on top of each other....so I called it good. 2962fps average with RL23

What are those bullets with sky blue tips?
