I was passed along this trick: As it is well nigh impossible to find ammo for .25 Stevens rimfire, the Number 5 Power Load , available at Home Depot(Red Star S-43) can be fired after seating at #2 (.27") buck shot ball in breech. You push in buckshot ball then the #5 power load which seems to be .27" case diameter and fits in my old Stevens Favorite chamber just right. I just shot 10 over a chronograph and got 1270fps AVERAGE with 69Ffps deviation! Seems like about right , has a supersonic crack, which I wish it didn't have, but hey, I can shoot a beautiful old tang sighted gun I haven't shot in 30 years!
