Were there ever any .25 cal rifles made? - Toe

Does black powder fit your criteria?

I don't think a 25acp round would make it all the way to the end of a rifle barrel.

I have never shot one, but I think the old .25 rimfire must have had some merits. Elmer Keith liked it, and I would buy one if it ever came back.

Stevens, Cooey, and a couple others made a .25 cal rim fire rifle, I have a box of the cartridges, Buulett looks a lot like .22 cal Magnum.. only in .25 cal

Classic 095

Stevens .25... Quiet, accurate, and well made. I have a nice one that was given to me 40 years ago.

BR... How much for that box of ammo?

I regularly shoot a Winchester Model 53 in 25-20 (.257 60 grain bullet). It is very accurate out to 100 yards.

Thats what the #2 whitetail in the world was shot with.

Yes... but most were chambered for rifles only. The Winchester Model 1885 Single-shot was manufactured in six different 25 caliber cartridges;

25 Stevens rimfire (chambered in both rifle & handgun)
25-20 Single Shot
25 W.C.F. (25-20 Winchester repeater)(also chambered in the Model 1892, 53, and 65 lever-actions and possibly a Colt revolver?)
25-21 Stevens centerfire
25-25 Stevens centerfire
25-35 W.C.F. (also chambered in the Model 1894, 55, and 64 lever-actions)

There are numerous other 25 caliber cartridges that have been manufactured over the years;

25 Krag
25-20 Marlin
25-36 Marlin
25 Newton (wildcat)
256 Newton
25 Remington
25-06 Remington
257 Roberts
250-3000 Savage
257 Weatherby Magnum
256 Winchester Magnum
