I'd love to see someone come out with a .25 caliber round with a case length of around 0.750-0.080, rimless, loaded with a 60 grain bullet at around 1900-2100 FPS. If the case needs to be a bit longer then so be it.
I'd like to see Ruger build a carbine similar to the 10/22 for this cartridge. Perhaps build a revolver for it to. Henry could build a lever action.
Basically something that's just a bit more powerful than the .22 mag. Something very inexpensive to reload. Sips powder. Gives decent performance out to about 150 yards on small game.
Then we could load it down to .22 LR levels for less than the cost of .22 LR!
In other words a modern .25-20 round that can be fed through semi-auto actions with no problems.
