2400 10.5 gr to 12.0 gr 2400 fps to 2670 fps
i used to stick more to the middle of the road loads for this one as it was so hard to get or make the brass....25-20 Win single shot cases are not cheap or easy to get to reform...i do not have the exact load anymore that i used (long time ago) but kept this data that Ellwood gave me...
hope this helps you out

It is a great little cartridge, I have one built by Epps on a low-wall, has the most beautiful funiure going.... Heavy barrel, shoots in the same hole all day....

That the one that was in the SuperSaver? If it's the same one I saw, the price was pretty good.
Nice action, good cartridge. - dan
i'm not sure what supersaver is but this gun is coming from sask..a friend of
mine took it on trade & offered it to me for his cost.theres always room for
one more oldie.
todbartell-this cartridge is closer to a hornet than a 22-250 in size but the
mv can be up around the 3400fps mark (40g bullett).

It's a kind of a Buy Sell & Trade rag that viewable on-line. Saw one listed with that description for $325 or so (and I think it was in SK too). Was damn temted to grab that one myself (if they are the same one).
