Most have seen Gary's new line of Falcon cartridges. Many are exciting, but the 251 Falcon is the most exciting for me.

Basically, a 25-20 Improved with taper, shoulder and neck modified for revolver use.

Granted, brass might be an issue. We'll learn more as this project moves forward. But, this cartridge can be made from 218 Bee and 32-20 as well.

This should be a powerhouse small game cartridge. The rim size allows use in the N.M. Single Six frame. Of course, Blackhawk and some Double Action guns will be candidates too.

Some brass and bullets should be in Flagstaff for testing. Looking forward to what all Gary builds this one in.

I wonder what it will do?

I'd like to see numbers so to speak in the near future. I suspect it would be a great varmint round

I have high expectations for it...

But, guess it's not cool to speculate too much.

I'll use it with the heavier 75-86 grn bullets.
