Well I will start off with this is for my father in law I don't mess with the 25 much and haven't loaded for it yet. I have a bunch and Hornady jwords both 35gr xtp and 50gr fmj and also have the 6 cavity ranch dog mold. I can't find a load for the 35gr xtp and i'm two hours from my books at home does anybody have a hornady book that would look it up for me?

Out of the Hornady book for the 35's:
WW 231: 1.3 min/1.6 max
Clays and Unique are not listed in anything I have for the 35 gr xtp.

Years ago I had an FN "Baby Browning" and I picked up a cheap set of used RCBS dies at a gun show. Found out why they were cheap and why he was selling them in a big hurry! With my big, fat fingers and those little tiny brass cases and equally tiny little .251 bullets it was a real pain in the a** to load those little beggars! From memory I used Bullseye when I loaded for it and the starting load from an old Lyman manual was 1.0 grains and the maximum load was 1.1 grains!
Shortly afterwards I sold the gun ... complete with dies, brass and bullets. ;-)
(PS: If you are going to shoot that pistol and load for it use a tarp on the ground to catch the fired .25 brass afterwards. If you shoot it on a range where someone has been shooting .22 rimfire in the same spot you'll go crazy trying to find your fired .25 ACP brass!)
