Anybody load for the 25 Remington?
Any load info? It is a slide action so we will load a bit light. Any info appreciated. Thanks


Although cartridge selection is important there is nothing that will substitute for proper first shot placement. Good hunting, "D"

Some of my manuals list the .25 Remington and the 25-35 Winchester with the same data. I presume you have a Model 14 Remington. What bullet weight do you want to load?

I would like any info available but specifically we would like a 115-120 gr bullet. I think they also loaded a 60 gr bullet for small game. Thanks. "D"

I would not advise learning to reload with this round and rifle. Brass is hard to find or you have to form it from .30 Rem brass. The rifle has little camming power for either chambering or extraction of an oversize case. In addition it has a tubular magazine. I would not use pointed bullets not even if it is spiraled.
If you aleady have significant experience you should have no problems. I suggest that you buy a manual or two with the data in it. It is too easy for a typo to occur like this.

I formatted this nice and neat but the software fouls it up when it is saved.
