Prior to the commercial ascendancy of the 25-06 Remington, however, there was the 257 Roberts. Talk about testing the market before taking the leap! This finally became the 25-06 Remington in 1969. Niedner introduced rifles for his 25 Niedner, the 30-06 case necked down to hold a. It had to spit an 87-grain bullet to do this. This was the first commercial cartridge to hit the 3,000 fps mark. There was the 25-20 Single Shot, 25-20 Marlin, 25-20 Winchester (still around!), 25-21 Stevens, 25-25 Stevens, 25-36 Marlin, 25 Remington and 25-35 Winchester (also still kicking.)
