The dies you have are for the 25-20 Single Shot cartridge. Winchester chambered it in many thousands of Single Shot rifles (both high-wall and low-wall).
While some may call it the “Stevens” 25-20, that is not actually correct. The Stevens Arms company did not invent it, instead they adopted that cartridge just like Winchester did.

I think you’ll find that this set is for the 25-20 STEVENS Single Shot . . . .NOT the Winchester as inferred in your title.
There is no such thing as a “Stevens 25-20 Single Shot”. Stevens did invent their own 25-21 and 25-25 Stevens cartridges. The 25-20 Single Shot cartridge was adopted by both Winchester and Stevens for their respective Single Shot rifle models.
