Pee Wee, like you I'm a big fan of the tiny .25-20...but I stick with smokeless for this one! My 1892 is a 1912 vintage piece that my father had Winchester re-barrel to .218 Bee back in the '50s.

I've got Gold Cups and Springfield TRPs, but often as not the "garbage" goes along on my hip. Glad to hear about your Firestar, Forty Rod! Ad
