I just bought a Winchester Mod 85 Low wall at a Gun Show (I Know), in fairly good condition with 6 boxes of shells. I am not a novice to Gun Shows so I checked out the rifle as best as I could.
Now the rubb. When I went to chamber the 25/20 round it would not go but about half way in the chamber. Looking at the barrel the caliber marking says 25/20 SS ? No idea what that means ? So I pull off the Forestock and it is marked " REBORE 22580 J.P.P of the barrel. I did a wax cast of the chamber and it looked OK . Have not slugged the barrel yet but did mic. it at .254. Any ideas?
