If you only have one 25-20 SS rifle and the brass you have will chamber and you neck size only (a good idea anyway to extend brass life) then 25-20 WCF dies and a 223 shell holder will work just fine at a very reasonable cost.

I have asked this question before to no answer. 
Why? I have a Maynard #16 in 25-20 SS. Why I ever bought it I don’t have a clue. I can’t shoot it in any of the matches I go to. Too small a caliber. And I don’t hunt chipmunks or squirrels. Why does someone want to own a 25-20 SS? Looking forward to hearing.thanks

You're going to the wrong matches;-) How about a quarter bore match? Put the rifle on the for sale list? Maynard was famous for its accurate barrels.

I sure there are many answers. For me. I enjoy thr chsllenge of bringing a long obsolete rifle back to life. I dont shoot competitively or hunt - I just shoot for my own pleasure. Anybody can buy off the shelf calibers, but some of us march to a different drum. It doesn't have to be a practical reason. In my golden years I've become fond of the .25s. I have rifles in .25 Steven rimfire and centerfire, .25-20SS, and a couple of .25-25 Stevens. I load for and shoot them all.

Ebay has had a few sets online in 2026.  Here is a link to an RCBS set.  I have not interest in this item.

I've seen those two sets for sale on Ebay. However at this time Grafs has new Redding sets reduced and they are actually cheaper than used on eBay
