This is general discussion so here I go.
I think I have read about this cartridge on the net and the same old keeps coming up , people love to repeat what they read just to have a post count , I guess.
Any of you want to share a load you have used ?
Thanks, Tom J.
 
Thanks for the load. I, don't have the hand loaders book . This cartridge is not to popular and with only one model made for a shot time , it's pretty tough to come up loads.
I don't think this one started as a black powder. I did manage to get hold of some proper stamped brass made by a custom order company. I felt lucky to get brass seeings every company
stopped selling this cartridge in the early 20s and what is out there is for the collectors.
Again thanks for the load Tom J.
 
I would approach all this cautiously, but in Phil Sharpe's 1930s book on handloading, he mentions that .25-35 Winchester load data can be used for the .25-36. Cartridges are vey similar, but water case capacity of the .25-36 is a little greater than the Winchester case, maybe 3%-5%.
 
That is the company (Quality Cartridge) that made the brass. They don't make this caliber to often and when it's out of stock it's hard to find.
The brass is a bit spendy but made like the company name.
