Hornady and Winchester still make 25-35 brass. Definitely seems like a roll your own type of rifle.
I've been stocking up on some home roles myself. I got 600 rounds .357 and 200 rounds 45-70 ready for some nice weather.
The savings on the 45-70 is substantial considering it's $60-$75 a box in my area.
I did the math assuming at least 10 firings on the brass.
Plinkers with Berry's Plated Bullets: 6¢ Brass, 23¢ Bullet, 25¢ Powder, 8¢ Primer - 62¢ per Round
Thumpers with Hornady/Speer JSP: 6¢ Brass, 65¢ Bullet, 30¢ Powder, 8¢ Primer - $1.09 Round
And the old saying is definitely true, you don't save any money reloading....you just shoot more.
