    This may not be of any help but I will offer it anyway. I bought a Model 70 Winchester chamber in 225 in the early "70s. It had a unertial target scope on it. It also had a bull barrel. It has been one of the best rifles I have shot in my life and has produced groups that I am proud of. I do not know if it will shoot cast, but the 225 will shoot jackets. Food for thought.

    I have 3 rifles in 225 win mod 70 /highwall/sav 340 they all shoot unbelievable groups 5 shots the size of a dime at 100 yards I hand load every thing for these 3 guns I have forming die for 30-30 to 225 it can be a pain in the butt plus trimming the rim is time consuming I bought 500 new w-w brass last fall for 1.00 each have found lots of used at gun shows for cheap. most the time if I find new brass it's 50 to 60 dollars per 100

    I too have a 225 Win, a 340 Savage. Brass is a little tougher to find but I always find it with a little looking around. I am pretty sure Winchester still makes seasonal runs of it. Good shooting round with case capacity close to a 22-250.
