I really enjoy the 25-20 and think it is a very useful cartridge bunnies to deer.

I used the 75 grn Speer,which is a pretty hard bullet and didn't expand much for me, so I used them for small game loads. I also used the Sierra 70 grn blitzkings for a deer load, since they do disrupt, but still hold together at the speeds that I was sending them.

I think of the 25-20 as a .22 mag with double bullet weight.

I wasn't loading them hot in my Remington m25R, those actions are fairly weak compared to a Win m92.
