ABOVE ARE MY 2 25-20 REVOLVERS.
THE TOP GUN IS BUILT ON A 1959 COLT PYTHON WITH A NEW 6.25" BARREL AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A RECHAMBERED 22lr CYLINDER. THE CYLINDER HAS BLUE WEAR BUT THE FRAME AND BARREL HAVE VERY LITTLE. I BOUGHT THE GUN, USED, OUT OF IDAHO, A FEW YEARS BACK AND DO NOT HAVE ANY HISTORY ON IT. THE ONLY 25-20 LOAD I CHRONO'ed IN IT AND THE BOWEN BLACKHAWK WAS ABOUT 100fps SLOWER IN THE COLT. RIGHT NOW I
JUST OWN THIS GUN BUT AM THINKING OF LOADING UP SOME FAST 60gr JACKETED BULLET LOADS FOR IT.
THE BOTTOM REVOLVER IS AN OM 357 BLACKHAWK (WITH THE SAFETY CONVERSION) THAT BOWEN CONVERTED TO 25-20 WITH A CUSTOM 5.5" BARREL AND A CUSTOM CYLINDER, WEARING GENUINE STAG GRIPS. I BOUGHT THE GUN FROM AN INTERIM OWNER AND REPLACED THE GRIPS WITH THE STAGS. THIS GUN I USE SOME, AND SHOT A JAVELINA WITH IT THIS PAST DEER SEASON. MY LOAD FOR THIS GUN IS WSPM PRIMERS, R-P CASES, 85gr GC'ed RANCH DOG BULLETS AND 11.4grs OF H4227, AND THE LOAD CHRONO's CLOSE TO 1,500fps OUT OF THIS FINE REVOLVER.
I HATE TO SAY IT, AS NEAT AS A 25-20 REVOLVER IS, BUT THE FIELD "NICHE" FOR THIS CALIBER REVOLVER IS EASIER, AND MAYBE BETTER, FILLED WITH 32 MAG AND 327 MAG REVOLVERS, HOWEVER, WHEREAS I MAY MOVE THE COLT THE BOWEN IS STAYING.
