I use either 2400 or Unique in all my .32-20 loads and the deviation across my Oehler is very minimum. It's a pretty small case, and powder position can't change much like it could in much larger cases using these powders.

Awesome. What are the details on your new gem.Originally Posted by Sneakfoot
Long range rules, the rest drool.
I ordered a 1885 highwall 25-20 cal. Case hardened, single set trigger. Front blade sight,buckhorn rear barrel sight and a marbles tang sight. Fancy wood upgrade, I haven’t yet decided if I want the classic look of the crescent buttstock, or the traditional look. I like the crescent stock, but not crazy about the cheek rest. They will fit me to the rifle because I’ll be out there in Sept. so I have some time, to chew on it. I also need to do more research on barrel length. I have bullets,dies,and brass on the way. Plenty of powder, and primers in the loading room. YEEHA!!
Smoke will make your eyes burn, but only people, can make you cry !
You can get them to leave the cheek piece off

Yeah, going to talk to them about that. Any thoughts about the most efficient barrel length?

Most efficient for a .25-20 might not look right on an 1885. The 24" is likely most efficient, but that kills the nice long sight radius, and the balance of the gun's looks. I'd choose a 28" or 30", as I think it looks better, and gives a better sight radius.
24-26 inches probably plenty long enough.. A couple of years ago they had a couple of 24 inch hiwalls on the rack one was a 22 the other a 4065 both were pretty sweet handling rifles.
