Default Load Data Help

As some of you are aware I am in the process of getting set up to reload some 25-35 WCF for the Winchester '94 that has been in my family for years. Have picked up 3 older reloading manuals over the summer and none of them offer any info on this cartridge. Was hoping to find some printed load data for 117gr. Soft Points for this cartridge. If anyone would be willing to take a search through their older reloading books and pass along the info--it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to check!

My father will be grateful to get Gram's old Winny shooting again!

Well, I have Hornady Third Edition with 25-35 data, which I have never loaded. It shows:
IMR 3031, 20gr start
IMR 4064, 21.4 gr start
IMR 4320 22.6 start
H4198 17.7gr start
H4895 22 gr start

This is with Hornady bullet #2550, 117 gr jacket round nose. OAL 2.600".

I left out the max because I have found max loads from this manual in other calibers to be HOT.
Good luck.

My Hornady Handbook, Volume II, from 1973 has the same data as Okie sent you.

dickttx, thanks for taking the time to look as well. I was suprised that the 2 older Speer manuals and the Nosler manual didn't have it listed, but then again it had been discontinued for so long by Winchester that maybe it shouldn't be a surprise.

I think I still have some .25-35 cartridges stored away somewhere. Now I'll have to dig them out and see.
