Is 25-20 worth acquiring?

Midway USA was supposed to get 25-20 brass. One thing Starline Company told me was to use 32-20 brass to form 25-20

I use 32/20 brass for the 25/20 and the 218 Bee. all it takes is a pass through the die, although it is better to form it into 25/20 and then into .218 Bee when loading the Bee.

I bought a rifle in 25-20 WCF a couple of years ago and couldn't find ammo for it. I liked it because it had a cartridge case head on the receiver.
I put it aside and may have to go find it and see what I can do with it. Let me know what you do and how it works out.

Sounds like a Remington pump rifle....right? Was it the model 14? I disremember.

I shot mine today. I had 3 different loads. 1 Remington 86 gr. And 2 reloads. One was a spire point that I shoot single shot. Busted clay birds down in a dry ditch. No recoil. Accurate 1892. This one was made in 1920's. My grandfather kept it hanging above the door, next to kitchen table.

As expected, the single-shot Stevens went for way more than I wanted to pay. BTW, there are several offerings of 25-20 ammo on Gunbroker, running $70 or more.

I have a custom Ruger SA in 25-20. I love it due to low recoil, easy reloading and plenty of bullet weights to choose from.
