Steve - Thanks on the data. I am leaning towards the 60 gr bullet to get the vel up for varmint application and paper fun at 100 yds. That twist was probably in the Win 92?(to which this this cart was designed for) The 1:14 seems slow and may be better applied to the lighter bullets. So Ill start with the 60. Handloader has several issues that cover the 25-20 as well as a neat "bullet dia to weight to twist required" table to reference.

The castbullet idea I put down due to working with the smallish 257 bullet and cost of gas checks with unknowns of the results in my barrel. also don´t expect to use the gun that much. Its sister 23D in 22 Hornet wears a Lyman 10X target spot glass and I rate it a 150 yd pleasant chuck gun.
