So the consensus is we do a 25-caliber on a Single-Six. This was 2Dogs' idea and I like it. The 25 Hornet, 257 Magnum, and 25 Flea have been done a few times over. So no Hornet case. Instead we'll use a shortened, improved 25-20. And while I like the "SA.com" label it sounds too much like a Glock, Sig, AR, etc, type round. Fermin coined it the Jackrabbit and I think the name is apt. So here you go.....  Load From A Disc yields the following: Water capacity = 15.2 grains OAL = 1.380" (+/- 0.010"). Single-Six cylinders are 1.40" Powder - 9.5 grs of H110, max Bullet - 60 grain Hornady flat-point Velocity ~ 1,600 fps from a 6.0" barrel Pressure ~ 30,000 PSI -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time" |

Nope. This round is designed to work in rebored 22 Single-Six cylinders. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time" |

I think you'd want to stay inside Fermin....it's been in the mid-20's here at night. The next step is reamers. My dad has a lot of projects in queue but I hope we can get to them this winter. I'll keep you guys posted. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time" |

Well now, the plans have just changed for a hashed-out OM that I had set aside for another project. It can wait, this is a much better project.

What bullets do you guys have in mind for this zippy little popper?

The benchmark should be the 60 grain Hornady flat base soft point.

Nice little round! Have any of you considered new molds for a hardcast, gaschecked bullet? Oops, found the other thread.  |
