From another forum;
“The .250 Helldiver was designed by champion bench rest shooter L. R. Wallack in the late 1940s and was a .30-40 Krag necked down to .25 caliber.
The .270 Helldiver was a .257 Roberts blown out and necked up to .277 caliber (but slightly different than Ackley's .270-257 Improved) and the .300 Helldiver was a .257 Roberts blown out and necked up to .308 caliber.”
