The .25-20 Winchester remains a popular choice among vintage rifle enthusiasts, hunters, and handloaders who appreciate this classic cartridge. Duck Creek Sporting Goods offers several component options for .25-20 Winchester reloading, including brass and bullets.
For .25-20 Winchester brass, Duck Creek offers cases formed from virgin Starline .32-20 brass, sold in bags of 100 pieces. This is normally a stocked item, as long as the supply of Starline .32-20 brass is available. Remington also considers .25-20 brass a seasonal product, historically producing approximately one batch per year, generally in the spring. This limited production can make planning ahead especially important for reloaders.
For those looking for historically correct headstamps, Bertram of Australia produces .25-20 Winchester brass and is another option available from Duck Creek Sporting Goods.
Bullet availability is also important when loading the .25-20 Winchester. Remington treats its famous 86-grain .25-20 bullet as a seasonal product, typically producing one batch each year. Duck Creek also offers the Rim Rock 86-grain lead round nose-flat point (RN-FP) and Hornady #2510 60-grain jacketed flat point, giving reloaders proven bullet choices for this classic cartridge.
Whether you’re loading for a vintage Winchester, maintaining an older hunting rifle, or simply keeping the .25-20 Winchester alive at the loading bench, having .25-20 brass and bullets available is essential. With seasonal production from some manufacturers, stocking components when they are available can help keep this historic cartridge shooting
