I used .25 Remington data (Ken Water's Pet Loads) as a baseline. I figured I could safely push 80 gr bullets to 2,800 fps and 100's to 2,600 fps from the rifle's 24" barrel. Thank you for the load data. using the Hornady 100, i went up to 28.0 of H4895, then backed down to 27.0, never clocked those , had always wondered about speeds. my gun also did pretty well with AA2460 & Nosler 85 BT's...you have probably have seen this link, Gunblast reviews of the 25/35, some decent speeds with that powder in his rifle. http://www.gunblast.com/Winchester_25-35.htmmy carbine is a 1-10 twist, TC custom shop barrel, just swapped out the 4xleupold for a 1-75-6x short tube. gonna make it a point to kill more stuff with this one.

Congrats to your son on a fine whitetail. I had one of those Contender Carbines in .223 back in the 90's. I killed a ton of groundhogs with it and then got a 7-30 Waters barrel thinking it was the answer for deer hunting. I sold the thing before I ever got the chance to blood it. Another one on my foul ups in life.

CONGRATS!!! A good deer for sure. I'll stop in and we can share some stories in a couple of weeks. I really like the European mount with the empty cartridge case, take some pictures of that one.

Good shootin' there!
My Aunt Lillian hunted with an older slide action rifle in 25 Remington for several decades. She killed stacks of Pennsylvania whitetails using plain factory ammo.

That's a nice buck and a great way to start a hunting career. Been a while since I have seen a 25-35 in action, friend of mine has one in a Savage 99. Very nice handling rifle.

Cool rifle! That brings back memories from LONG, LONG, ago. Good on the young man.

Very nice, well done!
Boy Howdy, been a while but watched my cousin flatten his first deer with a .25-35 in a 94 lever gun with a single factory load. He was the third generation of his family to do so with that very rifle.... GOOD TIMES

Nice buck and big congrats to both. Never seen a 25-35 but the old calibers always adds to the story
