Besides the Airforce Texan .257, what other high end airguns use .257 caliber?

I was on the preorder list for 3 months for the FX Impact M3. Not knowing when the M3 would arrive, I decided to buy the AirForce Texan LSS .257 in the meantime. I only plan to shoot 200 yard + with both the Texan and M3. I stocked up on .257 slugs for a few different vendors while waiting for the Texan to arrive. Then FedEx lost the order! The vendor I ordered the Texan from is processing a complete refund.

The same week that FedEx lost the shipment, I got the call that the M3 is back in stock. Now I have $200 worth of .257 slugs.

Now that the M3 is a dedicated slug gun for 200 yards +, I'm looking for the perfect .257 caliber "all around" airgun besides the Texan. Don't get me wrong, the Texan is still a possibility to return to the lineup, but I'm looking for recommendations for other .257 guns.

What other guns use .257 caliber. Price is not in question.

Amendment: Can I shoot .257 cal with my M3? Whats the worst that can happen if I did? Pros and Cons?

I believe the Texan is the only manufactured.257 on the market. The others are all some sort of conversion. My personal favorite conversion is the Winchester 35-70. Other than the Evanix sniper , it’s the only rifle that has a magazine capable of taking bullets over .55” long. Perfect for the 257420 cast bullets . I’ll be contacting CARM soon to see if they can make a replacement mag specifically in this caliber rather than having to modify the existing mag.

Perhaps Beaumont would work with you?

The only reason why you would want to do that conversion is to gain a multishot capability or just because it's different and cool. Both good reasons! I do not believe that you would gain power or shot count or accuracy by doing that. You might even lose some power or shot count. It would be cool tho
