rdfs:comment
  • The .25-25 Stevens was an American centerfire rifle cartridge. Designed by Capt. W. L. Carpenter, 9th U.S. Infantry, in 1895, the .25-25 Stevens was the company's first straight-cased cartridge. It would be used in Stevens' single shot Model 44, as well as the Model 44½ rifles, which first went on sale in 1903. In addition, it was available in the Remington-Hepburn target rifle. The switch to smokeless powder only exacerbated the problem, due to the small charge. To cure this, handloaders use a mix of of bulk shotgun powder and of black powder, with bullets of between .

  • The .25-25 Stevens was an American centerfire rifle cartridge. Designed by Capt. W. L. Carpenter, 9th U.S. Infantry, in 1895, the .25-25 Stevens was the company's first straight-cased cartridge. It would be used in Stevens' single shot Model 44, as well as the Model 44½ rifles, which first went on sale in 1903. In addition, it was available in the Remington-Hepburn target rifle. While the .25-25 was popular, the .25-21 offered "practically the same performance and was a little cleaner shooting." It also suffered a "freakish" appearance, due to its length to diameter ratio. It was also found the usual black powder charge of the shorter, bottlenecked. 25-21 offered "practically the same ballistics" as in the .25-25. The switch to smokeless powder only exacerbated the problem, due to the small charge. To cure this, handloaders use a mix of of bulk shotgun powder and of black powder, with bullets of between .
