    25/20 & 32/20 were meat guns for a lot of people. Stump hunters killed a lot of deer with both of these. Not good for jump shooting or long range but 40-60yd is easy deer kill. Guys use 300mag for same thing and swear by them. I have only old originals and shot only cast at the old velocity levels. Shot many groundhogs with both. I shot them a lot more than usual doing 22 ammo panic.

    Growing up, there was a big six pointer mount on the wall that Mom got with a 32-20.
    We loved taking it down and moving the head to make it look around a doorway to give the dog nervous fits.
    Uh, when Mom was at work.

    Great 25-20 bullet being offered in Group Buy Discussion. M&P Brass HP Mould. One option is a set of two cavity sized blocks with 3 cavities. Two Dogs is the Honcho. It’s a great design and sure to bring any 25-20 WCF back to life

    I don't know who the silly loudenboomer fraternity is, but true, anything can be loaded down. I can attest that a 257420 at a muzzle velocity of 1800 fps turns a ground squirrel inside out inside 100 yards, indistinguishable from a .223 hit.
