Looking for Loads for 25-20 Single Shot

Hi,

Anyone have Vihtavuori loads for the 25-20 Single Shot? Bullet recemmendations are also welcome!

Thanks!

So nobody uses VV -what powder do you use then? Should a .257 or .258 bullet be used?

The below data is from COTW 4th Ed.

60gr bullet, 9.0gr 2400, 1790 fps
86gr bullet, 7.0gr 2400, 1470 fps
Bullet diameter .257"

These loads are very close to loads used for the modern 25-20 Winchester.

That's the stuff, Alliant 2400. 7-9 grains for the 25-20.
