Had a friend once who had a couple of old winchesters in this caliber and he reloaded for it. I shot one once or twice. If I found an older winchester in this caliber in good shape Id buy it.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Picked one up last year, mines a 1892 Winchester, having a newer barrel put on it at the moment.
Have all the dies, bullets, and brass, just waiting to get her back.
Should be a fun little round.
If I get lucky I might get a coyote with it.

I don't want to get into something that is hard to reload for due to lack of components

The brass will be the biggest thing, but there are people that resize the 32-20's down.
As I believe that's how it started out anyway.

Knew nothing about the 25.20 yesterday morning.
Now it sounds like it can go from 22 mag to 22 Hornet.
Fills a big spot .
