I suppose Single Five would have been a more accurate description. Range report will follow as time allows. Again, I admire Gary's willingness to work with the shooting world to try new things. This is my 9th Reeder Centerfire Conversion on the Single Six Frame. www.reedercustomguns.net/forum/index.php?id=70545 |

totally love that... I've gotten the chance to shoot a 256 revolver of my retired buddies... interesting & easy cartridge, since they can easily be formed from 357 magnum cases  he's been getting rid of a lot of his guns, since he's getting older... might just have to ask him about that one... I haven't done anything new with the 25's lately |

Man that is beautiful! I would love to get into the 25 caliber game, I'm just now starting on the 32's.
Love the blued gun with white grips especially with that octagon barrel!

I love the look of those grips. Corian has a lot of nice colors/schemes that would make great sixgun grips.

They are attractive and extremely durable. I build all my guns for real time use, not photo sessions.
This gun will be useful since cartridge capacity is only 16% more than the 25-20. But, it goes without saying, 357 Magnum brass is much easier to find. More durable too...

The grips look great, as well as the octagon barrel. Won’t be hard to enjoy that one.

I had this one built with a 1 in 14" twist where my 25-20 was built with a 1 in 10". The thought was the long neck of the 25-20 was better suited to heavier (longer) bullets.
Turns out the 1 in 10" shoots 55-85 grain bullets into nickel size groups.
So, will be interesting to work with the new gun. I really hope it likes the Speer 75 grain FN.
