Home Forums Lever Action Central Lever Actions - General Do tube fed leverguns really need rimmed cartridges?

The 25-35, 30-30, and 32 Special had a head-start on their rimless Remington cousins, so they were well established before the 25, 30, 32, and 35 Remington rimless were introduced.

IIRC, the short lived Stevens 425 series lever actions were chambered for the Remington rimless cartridges, rather than for the 25-35. 25-36, 30-30, or 32 Special.
