Interesting thread, Stan. Why not .25 Remington? V.E. Markevich's identified .25 Remington as a suitable intermediate power round in 1930. Maxim Popenker and Tony quote him on paGES 11-12 OF Assault Rifle. Interestingly, in 1921 Springfield Armory modified 25 Remington Model 8s in .25 Remington for the Infantry School to use in developing tactics in anticipation of the eventual adoption of a self-loading rifle. John Henwood discusses that on page 116 of The Great Remington Model 8 and Model 81 Autoloading Rifles. I wonder if there's any record of the Infantry School's impressions regarding those rifles.
