dennis duke25-20 ??
I want load cast bullets for a md 92 winchester in 25-20 WCF. Where do ya'll get your bullets, do you use gas checks and do you have to flare the mouth? Anything else would be welcome. Thanks
I reload for a 25-50 (Winchester Model 53) but use jacketed bullets. Midway sells a 25-20 (.258) Meister bullet which I think is 86 grains and not gas checked. As I remember, they are not very expensive. I use Lee dies, full length resize, chamfer and use a mild crimp. Please keep us informed of your progress.

vapodogI load the 60 HP in mine but just wanted to say that the twist in that M-92 is 1-16" and it don't drive the lead bullets very fast so keep the bullets short.....which means light, or you will be getting keyholed bullet holes.

DigitalDanDennis, there are a multitude of cast bullet makers out there that can fill your needs. Lyman makes a 70 gr. flat point design that shoots quite well. Actually, they make a mould for that bullet...some makers may have it available. Thinking it's a 257411 but not certain of that.
