Schuetzen in .25-20 WCF?

Just wondering;
I’ve seen a couple of CPA’s in .25-20 WCF, but I thought this was more of a hunting cartridge than a target cartridge.  I know that .25-20 SS was a target cartridge, but it’s very different than the WCF cartridge. 
Any comments from those wiser than I?

I agree, great round, I’ve had very good results with both, also 25wcf brass is a lot more attainable compared to 25-20ss.

It’s the different twist rate that spells success, allowing for heavier bullets to be used.

To make note that he should not make his choice based solely on cost of or availability of brass.

I really like them The 25-20 WCF is A great little case.With neck problems is seeming to be my go to for offhand anymore. I like 26" short fat barrels over the longer barrel,keep that weight in close.......

He's a curmudgeon. I like curmudgeons. It's becoming a lost art.

I'd do a schuetzen in 25 20 wcf without hesitation. I'm already shooting one in 25 20ss. I have Winchester lever guns in 25 20 wcf and they shoot great. With a little persistence and keeping my eyes open at gunshows I found more brass of both calibers than I probably need. When I see the stuff now, I just walk on by and leave it for somebody else..
I'm thinking a gun in 25 hornet would be fun too.
