	Assuming you meant 25-20 SS and not 25-20 WCF, the Jamison is the way to go.

	If indeed it's the 25-20 WCF you're trying to find brass for, Remington (R-P) is what I use, as well as most of my fellow shooters. Winchester brass doesn't seem to hold up as well. I have no experience with the other brands, only know what works for me. Jerry_H

	Suppliers I've checked, including Mid-South, list it as out of stock, no b.o's.

	Okey, with the no supply of empty cases, your best approach is to buy a box of loaded 25-20's. Then when they are available, buy just the brass because nobody has just unprimed brass now

	You could make them from your 32-20 brass. CPA should have them. Bob

	Quote: and is annealing required? No, but it is advisable to insure the case seals against the chamber sides firmly and work hardening of the case brass is minimized Annealing: heat the case to the depth of the seated bullet between 625-650 degrees. Will be a bluish green color - red color is the brass will be too soft. Drop the case on a COTTON towel and air dry. Quenching them in cold water does not anneal brass - only steel!

Actually, quenching in cold water may help slightly in annealing non-ferrous metals, although for cartridge brass at the temperatures we are working with it is not a significant help. However, quenching steel in cold water NEVER anneals it, it results in hardening, not annealing.
