Title: 32-20 & 25-35 calibers?
Post by: Boss .300 winmag on January 01, 2013, 11:16:27 AM: Are these made any more, does any one here have one?

Post by: AWS on January 01, 2013, 11:54:53 AM: I believe there are some single action revolvers made in 32-20 yet. No 25-35's unless you call a custom TC barrel a new one. I just sold my 25-35 Savage 1899B a year ago made in 1907 would still shoot MOA with target appeture in the reciever sight and a mild load of 3031 and 117gr RN's.

Post by: fishingfool on January 01, 2013, 12:04:51 PM: I have an old Colt "police positive" revolver from waay back in 32-20 and a saddle ring Winchester in 25-35. Both still in service, I reload for the 32-20.ff

Post by: crazysccrmd on January 01, 2013, 12:15:33 PM: Winchester did a limited run of 1894s in 25-35 a couple years ago. I sold my 1927 built 1894 25-35 not too long ago. It was a great gun and cartridge but it just didn't really have a "place" to fill in my collection. I had good accuracy with 21.5gr H4895 and 117gr RN. You can sometimes find S&B 25-35 ammo in stores or a few varieties online.

Post by: boneaddict on January 01, 2013, 12:31:46 PM: I picked up an old 25-35 Winchester to complete my "big 3". (30-30,32,25-35) As for still making the caliber, I doubt it. I buy ammo whenever I find it, and picked up RCBS dies for reloading.

Post by: Dan-o on January 01, 2013, 04:56:50 PM: That was very cool of you to pick those up and get them to someone who can use them.

A definite hit in the category "Random act of senseless kindness".

Good on you, sir!

Where do you find it? I bought a bunch about 25 years ago when my grandpa gave me his M94. I think I have about 12 boxes of it. I need to get dies one of these days, but I don't shoot it much anymore.
