	Folks, as I get more mature, the ease of reloading straight wall cases seems to make a lot of sense. There is a Low Wall with a round .22 Short barrel re-chambered for 22 K-Hornet. Never did well with lead, but jacketed did good. My guess was the twist for .22 Short really wanted something like the 225438. The barrel has been treated poorly, drilled and tapped for a scope, finish is not pristine... I'm interested in a straight-wall case. Not desiring a case that requires heroic resizing, or endless searching obscure websites, or eye-popping custom case makers. 25-20 SS seems to fall down in availability... Though I do love me the quarter-bore. 28-20 ditto. I love the 285128 which works very well in the 7-30 Waters. 270 REN seems to be easy to form cases for. You can get dies for it. I have a 280468 that is nice in a 6.8SPC [wish it was the SPC II with about 0.1 longer neck]. Looking for an octagonal barrel [shooter, not NRA 100%], either lined or other. Talk to me.

	If you need it I have a 25/21 reamer. Never used it and was told it had only cut a few chambers.

	If I understand what you want to build is a easy to load plinking center-fire, straight walled case rifle. Assuming the out of the barrel is ok for your intended use, I would send the barreled action to JES and have it rebored and chambered for 38 special. Not much is cheaper or easier to load than the 38 special. If you don't cast, just buy a box of coated bullets and a mild load of unique powder and have fun. In my opinion a solid original action is plenty strong for 38 special moderate loads . Decopodge loading instructions inside the for end. Much cheaper than a new barrel, loads of fun and cheap to shoot

	Have you considered the 25 Hornet?
