Got the same issue....thinking the action might be worthless for any normal round. Gun was given to me...might give it back!

WSM (Winchester Short Magnum) or WSSM (Winchester Super Short Magnum)? If the latter, yes. If the former, almost assuredly not.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

People used to use WSSM to make the 358 WSSM for Indiana deer hunting.
The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge

Tuchodi,
As other posters have already suggested, it depends on whether your .25 is a .25 WSM wildcat, or a .25 WSSM.

If you have a 25 WSSM and are looking at rebarreling because of the drought of factory ammo and components, please contact Olin and ask them for help. I doubt that WSSM ammo and components is a point of discussion at Wincheter/Olin, but if WSSM owners are able to send a message that we are a market niche with $$ to spend, perhaps Olin will make some WSSM ammo and brass to feed the hungry and make the Browning and Winchester/USRA rifles usable again. www.olin.com
