I am contemplating rebarreling or re lining the barrel of my Whitney rolling block 2nd model rifle. Rifle is in nice condition and tight, with a totally rusted out bore. It was originally chambered in .38 CFC, a cartridge of .375" and a case just shorter than a .38 special. Not a powerhouse or noted for accuracy.
My choices for its new cartridge at this time are, .25 20 WCF or .32 20 WCF.
My question is which is noted for better accuracy. It appears that brass and bullets are moderately available, so my choice will be for the one with better accuracy potential.
