	While the 25-20 SS and the 25-20 WCF are being debated in another topic, I was wondering what member's thoughts were on the 25-35? Do you think the case has too much capacity to make a good 25 caliber schuetzen cartridge? I have been using the 25-20 WCF this past year and have had very erratic velocities from one shot to another. Is there another. 25 caliber cartridge based on a shortened 30-30 that might be better? Not quite sure how to make a 25 caliber RKS case out of 38 maximum using a 223 die either. Is that case a bottleneck?

	I built a 25/35 on a hiwall with a BRC bbl & it will shoot sub 1 inch 10 shot groups with either 4759 or 300mp & a 127gr. RCBS 257-120 cast 1:20 Harry

	I shoot with a few guys with the 25-35 and seeing the results myself, I am planning on getting one. If I get funds together and get someone with experience, I may rebarrel my 32-40, or just get a new rifle in the caliber (don't tell the wife!) In December I shot with my dad's CPA in 25-35. I had never shot the rifle or caliber, and i shot a 244, and the 2 flyers were called due to conditions. Convinced me that that is the caliber I plan on getting

	I've had a few in .25-35 and found it to be a very accurate cartridge. I use a 122 gr. cast bullet and it's consistently accurate. I also own a .28-35 that's as good or maybe a bit better.

	I also have a 25-35 BRC choked barrel as one of my barrels on an original 44 1/2. I haven't had a chance to really work with it as I switched to the 32-20 barrel for some pistol cartridge matches. Initial guesses got promising results from a 113 grain Lyman 257325 and a 111 grain Mos. I've just put the 25-35 barrel back on so I can get to some serious testing. I will say the 25-35 is very pleasant to shoot.

That's what I just got JerryH mentioned some use by guys there and I think John Louis was instrumental in developing that modern version of the .28-35 also? Mine is the early version developed by H.M. Pope on my Pope Ballard.

	John Louis used my .28-35 reamer. I bought it many years ago from a friend. The reamer belonged to my friend's dad and most likely originated in Southern CA. Probably sometime in the early 70's. Back on subject. I know of two .25-35 chambered rifles that have shot 250 targets at 200 yards in Modesto. It's an excellent cartridge in my opinion. Brass is easy to find or make and should last a long time.

	Bringing this thread back. They sometimes disappear for some unknown reason.

	I built a 25/35 for a good friend, back in the mid '90's. It was a 12 twist McGowen barrel on a 44 1/2. I also took the GC off of a 257418, 100 gr spitzer. It was very accurate. Here are his first development targets. The first one is with a 98 gr Barnett mold, that he got later.
