I picked up a 25-9 a few years ago.
Its a great shooter but the throats aren't oversized. My brother got a 25-5 during the same period of time. I believe its throats were in the .457 range. It will shoot, but there was a lot of experimenting done before he achieved success. As I recall, he had to resort to swaged bullets to get it to shoot well.
