25ACP fun

[RED333]

Yes it is a little round, 40 to 50 grans boolit, .5 to 1.5 grans of powder. Shell not much bigger than a 22 LR, and the small pistol primer fills the back end of the case. I cast for the little thing as well, a bit tedious at times, heck all the time. All that said I cast, powder coated and loaded a few this week end.

I have 2 molds, a RCBS 25-50-RN, it drops a 50 gran boolit at .254, good looking boolit 2 at a time. The 2md ,mold a MeHic 25 HP that drops 3 at a time at 45 grans and .251. The green ones are the RCBS and the gray are the HP boolits. Since my powder measure will not drop less that 2.5 grans I made dippers, the top one is .5 for titegroup, the right one is 1.3 for green dot, the left was a test.

Testing was good, no miss-feeds and hit a paper plate at 10 and 15 feet, with a less then 3 inch barrel I dont shoot out past 20 feet. It is a perfect round for getting varmints out of the chicken pen.

I could not hold something that small to reload it.

Seems you are having fun and that is what it is all about!

back in the 70's and 80's i use to reload the 25 acp.  speer had some nice fmj bullets and a case full of bullseye made a nice load.  i used rcbs dies.  took some time to get use to holding small cases and bullets.

green Dot is about full as well, cycles my pistols well.

That is spelled "boolits" to you sir!!! You are right smaller than a finger nail.
