Quite possibly we'll just prove what was said by later writers to have been the original experience, i.e. that the extra space for black powder was no advantage.  But it'll be fun anyway.  And maybe we'll find out that they were just doing it wrong.

I fear it'd just be the two of us - three if you left that last box of brass at RMC for another participant.  Grin


Yes, perhaps true  Grin

But hopefully our efforts will encourage others to dig an old .25-25 out from the back of the gun cabinet or even give a gun show find a second look. If nothing else. It will help others in the future. 

Between us, I think we cleaned out RMC. But they can make more Wink

Poster >GT< showed us how to stretch brass out by what he calls "nibbing" on a lathe.   Mustn't lose that thread:

I think it would be really good if you guys started a new thread on the 25-25.  Keeping the thread name searchable and including links like Gregs on stretching cases.  This had been a cartridge, along with the 22-15-60, that has interested me.
