Talk about roads retravelled!
I love the quarterbores, and in my reading have learned that many, many rounds were altered to .257-bore over the years. Some of the more popular rounds for break-open or single shot rifles (which work best with rimmed rounds) included the 25 Krag, the 25-303, and several "improved" versions of the 25-35.
Rimless favorites included Neidner's .25-06 of course, but also the original 250-3000, the .25-20, Roy's own 257 Weatherby, and my own favorite, the 25-308. All but the latter were formalized from wildcats to factory rounds. There were others that hardly lasted longer than their chambering reamers: 25-300 H&H for example.
