Cast boolits for the .25-35: Can I use .25-20 or .257 Roberts?

[Wardo1974]

Hi guys, where I live is limited bullet availability. I don't cast for myself, but a few guys locally do...but selection is limited.

I want some boolits for the .25-35 WCF. I can get 85 grain boolits for the .25-20, and 112 grain boolits for the .257 Roberts on the 25735 mold.

Would either of these work in a .25-35? The .257 weight is near ideal, but I'm guessing the crimping groove is nowhere I'd need it?

I am not sure what a 25735 bullet looks like. I am able to find a 257325 which looks like it should work fine. For light loads, the .25-20 bullets should work as well over about 10 grains of 2400. I do a similar thing with the .30-30 and use a 105 grain bullet for the .32-20 with that charge of 2400. It is a nice target load.
