Both the 25-20 and Gary's 251 Falcon deserve their own builds.

The 25-20 will have an auxiliary cylinder in the 250 GNR. The ability to seat the bullets farther out will allow a bit more powder to be used. Those two factors and 1.5" longer barrel will put the 250 GNR near original factory 25-20 ballistics.

It will have a faster twist too. I asked Gary to build this one with a fast 1 in 10" twist.

I see lots of fun and learning in my future...
