It’s not going to compete with modern cartridges for range or power, but that’s part of its appeal. A nice rifle in .25-20 is more about history, handling and practical use than chasing maximum performance.

Agree! I would like a Martini in the 25-20...Nostalgic!

Yes, A Winchester 1892 half mag, Had it rebarreled at TSE brisbane and a williams peep sight fitted. The only hassle is that 25-20 brass is hard to come by, Resizing 32-20 starline brass works but make sure you anneal the necks.

Sizing the brass is the least of my worries...
