History of the .25-20 WCF or .25-20 Winchester Cartridge:

The .25-20 WCF or .25-20 Winchester was introduced around 1893-95 by Winchester for the Winchester 1892 Lever-Action Rifle and later for the Remington Model 25 Pump-Action Rifle  Marlin Model 1894 CL Lever-Auction rifle, Savage Model 23 Bolt-Action rifle, with others to follow, including revolver pistols.

The 25.20 is basically a .32-20 necked down from .32 caliber (.32″) to .25 caliber to accept  (.257″) bullets. It was one of the first varmint cartridges to be introduced before the famous 22 Hornet or .218 Bee and was good out to 150 yards with various bullet weights. Now almost obsolete today except for a special run from time to time.
