I like to squirrel hunt with cast in centerfires. I have the itch to get a small .25, pretty sure it will be just getting a barrel for my Contender rifle.
I have dies for the .25-20 and .256 though have never loaded for either (yeah, I'm a hoarder) and even a couple of suitable molds from my dad. I do have a small amount of brass for the .25-20 which I know is hard to come by. Pretty sure I could form .256 brass and obviously, brass for the .25-45 is easy. Looks like the only twist rate I could get for .25s from MGM is one in ten which seems fast.
I plan to load these with low velocity, flat nose bullets for small game. Not sure this will really do anything my cast loads in .22 Hornet won't do, but I want a .25 for some reason.
Thoughts?
