Think we'll finally get a high BC Nosler 257 bullet now?

Excellent. I should have said "high BC, heavy for caliber". 135gr ABLR anyone? 130 AB?

A 22 caliber 80-85 grain AB or LRAB would be great as would a 25 caliber 130-135 grain AB or LRAB

If I were to guess, a 120-125 gr ABLR would be what Nosler would introduce.

That would be good.
I hope they lean toward the 125AB and a 130 ABLR...Nothing wrong with wishing

I am fine either way
The AB is such a good bullet...IF, they just add some weight to it (To raise the BC) OR do a redesign (Still a AB), they could own more of the market.
More and more guys are shooting fast twist 25's: 25x47 Lapua, 25 GT, 25 Creed, 25-284, and the 25 PRC keeps growing in popularity.
I am looking forward to see what they come out with.

Hopefully some one will put out Data for the 25-06 and 250 Savage with the heavier bullets too and some 110 BT or AB's. CL

Nosler will have 25 Creedmoor Load Data this fall. They are currently working on their new range facility. They are also going to look at the feasibility of producing a high BC bullet.
Stay tuned fellas.

YIPPEE!
If I’m not mistaken….they did offer 120’s long ago.

I know this is probably still a ways from becoming real, but for deer and antelope, the 134 ELD-M is a killer-I already know this.
I still want something more for bigger/tougher animals.
I have several fast twist 25 specialty pistols: 25 Creed (Being built currently), 25-284, and 25 PRC.
I have always loved the Quarter-Bore, and now, Finally barrels and bullets are available.
I will probably go with a mono of some kind for elk like critters, until a good bonded bullet comes out that has some reasonable BC for reducing wind deflection downrange.

I qoud like to try a 125 game bullet in my 25-'06 with 1-9-1/2 twist Brux barrel. It shoots 115 BTs very well.
