What's it like getting/ reloading ammo for those two? are the components hard to find?

Brass is easy for the 44-40, as are projectiles, although I cast my own. The 25-35 is derived from the 30-30, so can be formed easy enough, and brass for it is still manufactured too. Projectiles are the hard one, there aren’t many options for flat or round nose .257 projectiles, and many are too light to be useful as they’re designed for the 25-20. Hornady makes a great 117gr RN though, so all in all neither is too obscure.
