i don't care what you say about 25acp's

[mozeppa]

and ya'll are right ....it is a lifetime supply.

cuz i don't want to do it again!

[Johnny_V]

mozeppa, I for one applaud your efforts. All joking aside, if you have a caliber that can be reloaded, then get the stuff to do it. Never know when the Dems will get back into office, so you should never let your guard down......

BTW, I load for 32 ACP.....

[John Allen]

I would love to do a light weight rifle in 25 acp.

[Soundguy]

Does it take 10,000 shots from a 25acp to kill something?

And if that wont do it, you can use a Ss 22lr.

I think id go with a heavy rifle with bayo, that way after you shoot them with 25 acp, and they make your position and come for you, at least you will have a weapon to defend yourself with hand to hand.

I can barely stand reloading 223, even with the RCBS GMM Seater. I'd lose my mind reloading 25 ACP.

In New York, it doesn't take ten rounds to 'keel a deer" You have to know our governor.

Get a Strong NONE Blow-Back Acton Rifle and convert it to .25ACP. Even a Stevens Model 44 with a ".25 Stevens" barrel would work. Changing from RF to CF would need a Good Gunsmith but that is a Known Situation.

Just make sure the rim is Behind the Extractor, not in front of it.

Thats pretty neat. I'd like to see some close up pics of the brass... and bullets... I dont have to see a pound and a half of powder.

This is amazing on so many levels:

Why would you invest in 10,000 .25 ACP cases and only load them once?
Where does anyone find 10,000 .25 ACP cases?
Who would ever shoot that many .25's?
Why would you invest in two more powder dispensers when a progressive press makes more sense?
Why would you weigh every charge?
Loading 10k rounds, with each charge weighed, will take about 100 hours.

Like I said...amazing.

I think there is more to this story...at least I hope so...otherwise.....????

[psweigle]

I have a box full of 25acp that my son and I reloaded. Well, HE reloaded, and I supervised. Currently, he has shot them all once, in his Phoenix arms 25. Never a jam or misdeed. I love the idea of the "tic-tac" boolit! I use bulk surplus jacketed bullets right now, because I hate using the rcbs mold! I will go back to cast once I get the funds together for an aluminum mold. I'm actually more impressed that you powder coated all of those little buggers!

[bedbugbilly]

All kidding aside - I admire your patience! That is quite an accomplishment and while you may get the "berries" for doing it - we have to remember that we all have our "favorites" and I can see how a little .25 might be fun for doing some plinking. And reloading the .25ACP makes more sense that some of those who are reloading 22 rimfire.

When I see something about someone reloading 25 ACP or 32 ACP, it reminds me of why I like reloading 45 Colt - big boolits, big casings and the old fingers can easily grasps 'em. I know I'd have an issue with those little boolits and would probably drop more on the floor with my "fumble fingers" that I would get in the case mouth!

Enjoy - was interesting o see your endeavors!

This is amazing on so many levels:

Why would you invest in 10,000 .25 ACP cases and only load them once?not really once. (answer is coming.)
Where does anyone find 10,000 .25 ACP cases? at a .25 acp (only) target shoot league.
Who would ever shoot that many .25's? see above
Why would you invest in two more powder dispensers when a progressive press makes more sense? i have dillon progressives...they don't make for the .25
Why would you weigh every charge? a regular powder measure won't throw 1.3 grains consistently,
Loading 10k rounds, with each charge weighed, will take about 100 hours. are you in a hurry?

Like I said...amazing.

I think there is more to this story...at least I hope so...otherwise.....????

you used the word "invest" ....what return are you expecting?

the other 2 powder measures saves time on waiting for it to mead out 1.3 grains of red dot.
1.3 grains can take 10 seconds to a minute to measure ...with 3 measures going at once, i'm busy keeping up.

and now you know.............................................. ...................the rest of the story!
mozeppa!.......................................... .......................................good day!

[mozeppa]

i think i'll load up a dummy .25 acp ....and use a real "tic-tac" mint candy as the bullet.

then show the real bullet cartridge to my uncle...declare that it's too heavy to shoot POA... then bite half the tic-tac off and say "that outta do it!"

[psweigle]

Now that's funny!

[psweigle]

I might have to try that myself!

[Catshooter]

A 25 ACP-only league? That's a new one on me. Tell us more about it please? What kind of course of fire, distances etc. Sounds interesting and I bet it would be fun.

Where's that close-up pic of your boolits?
