Ed,You are probably aware of Liberty, just across the creek from you. (503 640 5518) They have a special offer to cast bullets from a mould that you buy. They keep the mould and give you its value in...

Ross; Thanks for the reminder about Liberty and their mould policy. I knew of it, because I supplied them with a CBE mould for .310 Cadet. Hoch makes the 25 Hudson mould, but I would rather buy a few...

Would the 25-20 rechamber to the 25 Classic? That'd make a really great Cadet cartridge! TDLefty

Ross, et al:I would not think of rechambering my 25-20SS cadet, as it is indeed in a relined barrel. I would definitely consider the 25-35 on a cadet action, and it is indeed on my to do list. 38Spl...
