  Winchester is still making 25-20 Win. ammo . You might check stsvespages.com for any literature you need .

  go here for info, i am sure there are some folks who can help you with a manual.
  i once had one of those rifles, plus a Winchester M-92 carbine and a rifle all three in 25-20.

  I have one of those little 27-S 25-20 pumps and it is a lot of fun to shoot. Very accurate for what it is and functions fine with current factory production 25-20 ammo. The only drawback is that 25-20 ammo is a little expensive for plinking. Works great on turkeys by the way; maybe the best turkey round going.

  Handloading would probably be the practical solution.
  25-20s can be easily made from 32-20 brass which may be more available
  if you can't get 25-20 brass.
  There's no reason to spend unreasonably for factory ammo when you can make it up for $15 a box or less using new brass.

  ...I picked up some new Win. brass at a gun show for $17/100. I know only one local dealer that stocks loaded .25/20 and the last I bought from him was almost $40.00/50. Check the auction side for loaded ammo. It won't be cheap, but it's out there. It's a fun, quiet caliber.

  Starline also has 25-20 brass. Stars and stripes reloads and sells this ammo as well, but it is not cheap.
