25-35 Winchester

[William Iorg]

I shoot a 24" TC Contender and the new 20" M-94AE.
With the 100 grain spitzers and the 117 grain Hornady round nose bullet Alliant Reloder 10 and 15 are top performers. With lighter bullets such as the 75 gr Sierra JHP I recieve very good accuracy from IMR 4320.

Several of us have sent e-mail to Speer asking them to make a 100 grain flat nose for the new Winchester. Ken Waters in one of his last Pet Loads articles called for a new 100 grain .25 caliber bullet. Waters felt this would add new life to the .25-35 and I agree.
Speer has been nice in their replies but has told all of us they believe there is no market for the bullet. This is probably the "chicken or the egg" argument. With a new 100 grain bullet I dont think the cartridge will attract attention of some who would not ordinarily consider it.
