Thanks for the info. I'll look into some Starline brass. I'm pretty confident I can find bullets without too much drama.
don't be too confident.
I have not seen .25-20 brass in a decade.
I finally got some starline .32-20 (Their website does not list .25-20 but states on the .32-20 page: "This cartridge can also be formed by experienced cartridge converters into .25-20") and tried to resize it to .25-20, I had about 15% failure rate. crushed and buckled necks.
the nice 86gr remington bullets disappeared in the last century, so did the 75 gr speer
I found some 60gr hornady's recently.
86gr cast lead is readily available.
good luck, if you find brass, let me know!
