Outstanding. 2,425fps is fast enough. This is exactly what the cartridge has needed for quite some time. Sure hope it will be available as a component

This ammo is screaming for a new rifle! Maybe Hornady is in collaboration with Marlin on this!

By looking at there offerings you would think Henry would be more accepting of the idea of chambering some rifles in the 25-35. They are also producing a new single shot for next year, heck I'd take one of them in the old Winchester round.

I fired my 25-35 1899 Savage saddle ring for the first time yesterday. Was a very pleasant experience. It fits me well as it is old, worn and has bruises and cracks like myself. Stock has been Bubbaed but still functions. Likely will replace the wood but then the metal won't look right. That gun has stories stamped all over it, would be great to know a few. GW

If they are going to do that, I would improve the case ackley style, and call it a 258 Marlin or Henry.

call me weird but i'd love to see a special run of 336's in the guide gun config with this cartridge. i think a 25-35 in a nice compact package would be sweet. very little recoil and enough ooompf for whitetail.

Does anyone know when this ammunition will be on the shelves? I had stored away my 1940s Model 94 because ammunition and reloading components were so hard to find. This afternoon I dug it out and ready to give it new life! But, I can't find the ammunition on any shelves yet.

Rancher, I can't find the ammo either, not a single box. I'm looking for the new 218 Bee ammo in every corner I can think off. I will try and call Hornady.

E-mailed Hornady concerning the new 110 grain .25 cal FTX bullet.
They said 30-60 days before they ship.

I have a Ruger #3 that I got re-barreled in 25-35 and it will get some of the new ammo.
Thanks for the heads up.

F&ck, I need to get a 25/35. It's really about the only thing left that I want.
Shouldn't have sold my 1899 in 25/35 about 12 years ago.

I have .25-35s in a T/C G2 Carbine and a rebarreled BSA Martini SS. With a single shot you can use any style bullet you want to (and I do). Deer and pig killers when loaded and pointed right.
Hey, they both got levers too!

Well how about that. 20" and 24". The $1,200.00 and $1,400 price tages may slow us up a bit but its still interesting.

I'm guessing it will be a little over $900 for the carbine. I only wish they would sheit can the rebounding hammer.

I would prefer a Marlin or maybe a Henry in the 25-35 Win. Especially in the $600.00 price range. Of course there is no such thing.
Although the Miroku Winchester's seem well made.

I recently bought a T/C Contender barrel in 25/35. I also bought a M8 scope and mounts for it. Since I reload I got some Hornady brass, IMR 3031 powder and some 60 grain bullets. As soon as I get around to it I'll have the scope mounted and load up some cartridges.
If you reload, there's no such thing as an obsolete cartridge.

A bit easier to fit a Winchester barrel than a Marlin due to the hood on the Marlin. Probably not a serious consideration.

All this hoopla about Hornady .25-35 components has me excited too. At last, a fresh source for brass with which to make Savage .22 HiPowers. I would give my left nut for an 1899H in .25-35. (If I'm dreaming, may as well go big. Who would want a Marlin or Winchester when they could wish for a Savage?! )

I'd like to do it but it's cost prohibitive right now. It's a $1,000 after buying the rifle. I'd rather put that money into a hunt.

Cant wait to try out my new 25-35! It's pretty rough, but the bore ain't too bad. Given its history, I'm surprised it still works!!! A rifle with a story!

Rifle belonged to a USDA "Tick Rider". He rode Rio Grande from when they were created in 1906 until just after WWII. Allegedly carried from Brownsville to El Paso at least twice and in at least one shoot out. I believe his main AO was from like Eagle Pass or Del Rio to Brownsville.
They still have tick riders out there. Part of the tick fever eradication program. Catch Mexican cattle coming over the river with infected ticks. Vet Tech daughter says there's real issues again here with the fever.

moose, I thought about what you said about a hunt.. I have thought of that over the years, but the price of a good hunt just keeps climbing.. Faster than I can catch up.. I would get the gun, you can enjoy it everyday..
I don't make the hunts I used to.. We have always had lots to hunt here, usually I have several deer and antelope tags, at least one elk tag, plus varmints, birds and small game.. For years I used to hunt 6-8 weeks in Pa. and W. Va. after I was done here.. Then we have hogs in Tex.. Lots to do and not much money spent.. Time is often more of a problem.. Now I usually spend much of my fall here and hunt birds, deer and antelope.. Have a safe full of guns and love each one.. Instead of selling, I plan to pass them on to folks I know will appreciate them.. Kind of a nice way to be remembered!!

Well, out here to the ranch. Went down by old range and found this target. Set it up and backed off about 40-50 yds. Hunkered down on one knee as best as an old cripple gimp can do and made two quick shots with that old tick rider rifle. I think it's a keeper!

Much obliged gents! As a tribute to the original owner I've decided to do a little restoration. Nothing serious to detract from its appearance. But I felt the # 6 finishing nail holding the nosecap in place didn't look all that secure. Pics when finished!
