Have you guys forgotten about the run of .357 Mags they plan to do soon? Gotta remeber this "cat got out of the bag" accidentally I think and the "idiots" (not my words) don't know that we know about it yet, so they may have been just toying with BBF about that one.
My vote goes in for the .257 Roberts tho. After the fiasco with the 25-06 Rem. I'd like to see a quarter-bore that would be better suited to the Handi actions. I think the Roberts would be the one. Also a run of the 35 Whelen stands out as a possibility as there have been quite a few guys that have requested them directly from the factory thru a letter drive I think.
