	I just picked'up a nice 1894 Stevens Favorite 25cal, now with no 25cal rimfire ammo available one of my options is to convert to 22 rimfire...I'm looking for suggestions, options and advise...my ears work...Thanks for a great forum...Cheers/John

	JOHN: A lot of guys are practicing the operation of producing 25 RF cartridges. I'm really pleased that you are planning to make RF cartridges instead of messing up a nice old rifle by converting to another caliber. Two options: One is to use some 22RF Magnum or something like that as single use cases (or reload them with kits to re-prime RF cases) or else make cases out of, e.g. 25-20CF and chamber the head of the case for a RF primer of some kind. I have used cut-off 22LR cartridges. Some use 22 RF blanks of some kind. You'll get a lot of more specific advice, and have as much fun making the ctgs as you do shooting the rifle. My 25 RF Stevens 44 1/2 is deadly accurate == has made 1.5" group at 200 yd. CHRIS

	If you are willing to put forth the effort, reloadable .25 Stevens rimfire can be made from .22 Hornet brass. I've made a 2 part video that shows the process.

	If for some reason you just want to have original .25 rim fire cartridges, I have some. However in the long run you would be much better served using Steve's process for making your own.
