	My 25 Hornet likes 9 gr of 4100 behind a 120 gr Paul Jones spitzer that achieves around 1600 fps. The barrel is a RKS gain twist I believe. I just decided to send Ron a letter with photos to see if he can provide additional info as I believe he built it for the late Bob Zimmerman and put an ATF xxxxx serial number on it since the factory number had been polished off. Here is an example of a 200 yd group.

	Super nice little group, Jack. Now I'm wondering what happened to Bullshop. dave j wound up with the Hoch 25 Hornet rather than Bullshop? Okay so just doing some re-reading and ...., okay, dave j, did you get your 25 Hornet Boch from Bullshop? Or are there two Hoch 25 Hornets out there?

	Like you said I am cheating by having a RKS barrel. I sent Ron Smith a letter today with a photo of the rifle like it was with Bob Z’s forearm to see if Ron remembers it.

	A real head scratcher that thing Bob had on there. Surely Ron had nothing to do with it. Maybe Bob used it so the rifle was stable on bags? Maybe he rested the rifle on the barrel when shooting?

	Bob definitely rested it on that slab forend since he had a layer of packing tape on it to make it slide better.

	I figure that it being as ugly as it was helped me get it from Ron Heilman. He probably would have put it on Gun Broker if it was nicer looking.

	It can be put right. Almost anything can be undone. By the way, I'm sorta looking for an old Stevens forestock, so if you happen to see one...

	eBay will be your friend for one of those. I will save a search for Stevens stock and let you know if I find any since I check eBay daily.

	Thanks Dave. My rifle is an original 44 1/2 with a CPA lever and triggers. Rough, looks bad, shoots good.
