25-20 single shot?

litetrigger

I picked up a stevens 44 1/2 in 22-20 ss. I'm told that this is not the same as the 25-20 winchester. any info. on loads would be helpful. Thanks Litetrigger

either midway or grafs should have brass (think a .22 hornet on steriods)

25/20 SS cases are getting hard to come by, but you can make them out of 32 WinSL cases if you feel the need, and can't locate any....

The 25-20 single shot is way smaller than the 32 Win. SP.
It comes much closer to the 22 hornet or the 25 Griffen # Howel.

Check my text out, I mention SL not SP.
According to what Nonte says in his conversion book
what I mentioned is true [}:)]

Fun cartridge to shoot. The Betram brass has a bad rep among those into the cartridge. Have not had major trouble with it myself but have not really shot and reloaded enough to be an expert. There is supposed to be another brand available soon but nothing definite. It can be made from .223 brass. There is some info on the ASSRA forum.

Litetrigger-don't try to make 25-20 SS from 32 SL...the 32 SL is only 1.29 in length while the 25-20 SS is 1.63. I guess you could make it from 223 but not easily at all...major reforming. Best bet, buy some 25-20 SS brass. Midway has it and so does Huntington's. Enjoy. BTW how did the 22 super jet do?
