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.htm my 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. ============================================================

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. Experience is what you get, when you don't get what you want!

She killed stacks of Pennsylvania whitetails using plain factory ammo. Sherwood FIRE UP THE GRILL - is NOT catch and release!

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 happiness is elbow deep in elk guts. NRA life member
