I couldn't pick between the 25-20 and 250 GNR...

If I had to. The 250 GNR is an awesome performer. Seven shots easily fit into a Trail Gun cylinder. It shoots the 60 grn Hornady FPs very fast and very accurately.

The 25-20 harkens of hunting a century ago. With the 1 in 10" twist barrel it shoots the heavy 85 grn cast bullets at 1260-1320 fps as was so standard in those days. Groups under 1" @ 25 yards with very little fuss or noise.

I realize those ballistics aren't flasy in the SuperMag era. But, it matches the velocity of the 22 LR with double the bullet weight and more frontal impact area. How much game has the 22 LR taken in its day?

I've already enjoyed these two guns more than any revolvers I own.

I'll do a 251 Falcon down the road. But, these two mild mannered tack drivers are likely to not be topped.
