25-20 SS feasibility ?

[Greg]

I've been wanting to build a 25-20 SS to enjoy. now I understand the Captech is no longer ?

any other sources for new brass ?

If you are going to go to the trouble and expense of building a 25-20 SS rifle, fifty or a hundred rounds of brass should not be a limiting factor. It’s not like an AR where you burn off a couple of hundred rounds every time you hit the range... you’ll have a single shot, and 25-50 rounds is a good day’s shooting. Also,if you breech seat at the bench, you might get by on a single piece of brass, used over and over. I bought a couple of hundred rounds of original Winchester and Rem-UMC brass years ago, but at this point if I needed brass, I’d just post a WTB here and on the ASSRA Forum.

BTW what action are you planning to use?

I was going to use my Grampa's Bridge Gun Company .410, have Mr. Taylor build a rifle barrel of the same contour. add modest engraving, French Gray receiver, and new Turkish Walnut stock.

since it will be passed on to my Grandson, I won't be concerned with justifying the costs.
plus I'll have the enjoyment of teaching him to cast, load, shoot and small game hunt with it.

Buy 218 Bee brass
Lube the case mouth and use a tapered expander

Clean and fire form the best 25/20 cases you can get
I sold my Marlin 25/20 like a fool , so I found a Marlin 218 Bee
But it isn't as good with cast as the 25/20 was

The 25-20 Single shot is a different caliber than 25-20 WCF.

I didn't mean to be short with you, was just pointing out the difference.
