Default .25-20 ??

Does anyone have a need, or use for a handful of 25-20 cases?
I just found 19 cases I fired from my Win. 92 many years ago.
I'll mail them to the first person to reply with their address.

Dang! Although truth be told, I probably have plenty I load them with 115 g. RNL from Missouri Bullet for pretty darn good accuracy in a Marlin.

I have very good results with a 75-grain RNFP-GC bullet. I have a mold for 95-grain, but those require seating very deeply in the case so that the cartridge will feed in my '92 Winchester. The 95-grain bullets are 0.82" in length.

The 1914-vintage Winchester .25-20 is one of my favorite shooters! Rifle with 24" barrel, excellent bore, and original Lyman tang sight.

Nice offer by the OP! Good brass is getting scarce.

You got me! That was the bourbon talking and I got my calibers mixed up. Yep! 75 grains for my old Marlin. Don't pay any attention to my posts after 8:00 pm, especially reloading advice - if ever

The 25-2o is one of my favorite calibers from way back. It started with a Marlin pump Model 27, then several Min 92's. Then a Remington model 25 pump for my wife, she could sure shoot that thing. Two bucks & I don't know how many varmints she got. Then along came a Marlin 1894 25-20 octagon barrel. Since I reloaded for it the loads were different for each. All are long gone now also my wife who passed in1987.
