How about the 25-20?
Tell me I am not the only one with a 25-20. Mine are a Savage Sporter (old style) and 2 Remington 25s. What a sweet little cartridge the 25-20 is. I enjoy shooting it more than any other. It is easily as accurate as I am with a peep sight, cheap to shoot, and packs a surprising whallop. I know a guy who claims his grandfather kept his family fed with a Rem 25 in 25-20 by taking Michigan deer during the depression. Claims he shot 7 out of 11 one evening (or something like that). OK, I am not saying it is the ideal deer cartridge, but I do know that shooting it puts a smile on my face.
