I used a Winchester 1892 in 25-20 and used it for small game and Cowboy Shoots for years. I have a Win 92 in SRC and Rifle and they both shoot very well. I shoot 86 grain cast over Green dot and get exceptional accuracy. I also have a Savage model 23 that likes the Speer 75 grain JFP and does a real number on the small game population. If you reload don't fear the 25-20 they are accurate and extremely fun to shoot. Brass is run periodically by Remington and I have brass that has been fired 2 dozen times with no problems with my cast loads. I have yet to get a bad piece of brass with the jacketed loads either. I had a Marlin 1894 takedown and before I sold it, brass was on its 8-10th loading. That same brass is now being fired in the Winchester, still no problems. Ryan
