Can anyone recommend a manual or 2 that has data for 25-20 whv 60gr and 32-20 whv 80 gr. ? I would guess it would be a manual from the 1960's? Correct me if i'm wrong, Winchester stopped loading the 32/20 whv in the early 60's and the 25/20 whv around 71? Thanks for any help.

Thanks.
The WHV was mostly an advertizing ploy. The shells offered
a slightly higher velocity over the black powder loading.
Pressures could be somewhat higher as well.
Winchester actually had three .25 WCF and .32 WCF loads at one time, standard, safe in revolvers and 1873s, Model 92, and WHV.
Phil Sharpe shows substantially higher chamber pressure for the higher velocity loads, about double, in fact.
