Jeff, those old pubs are a great resource if you have old guns you like to shoot. I have a couple of beat up Stoegers myself.

I've shot jacketed and cast 85/86 grain bullets with pretty good accuracy. The 60 gr Hornady shot well using IMR 4227 and IMR 4198. Under 1 inch at 50 yards. The factory rounds shoot very well too. According to the Speer Manual the 25-20 has a twist rate of 1 in 14 inches.
