Default Does Anyone Shoot a 25-35?

While sheep hunting in K-Country this year, I picked up a 25-35 brass. I was way up on a high rock ledge - I expect it was used for sheep. Does anyone shoot a 25-35? Or is this a really old casing?

My Grandpa had one with the octogon barrel. It is a rather old cartridge.

The 25-35 had a rep as being the most accurate chambering in the 1894 rifles way back when.Cases can be made from 30-30 Win.........Harold

The 25-35 was my dads first deer rifle. Its pretty much wore out now so he uses it as show piece. Maybe one of these years I'll send it to a gun smith and get her working again.
