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

[Bazoo]

What kind of firearms are you shooting bunches of 25 acp through? I assume... it aint cheap pocket pistols.

[54bore]

You can legally hunt elk here in Idaho with a .25ACP, but you can NOT hunt elk with a .45 Caliber Muzzleloader pushing 400 PLUS grain bullets at 1400 FPS, Now that makes a BUNCH of sense doesn't it?

[Bazoo]

In KY, for deer... any centerfire handgun or rifle is legal. So 25 acp through 50 BMG, Rimfire aint legal for deer... regardless of caliber or power. And, only rimfire is legal for small game, So I could use a 44 henry... but not a reduced 38 special.

I shoot an erma werke ep-25 and a Phoenix arms 25. The erma is more picky than the Phoenix. Payed $50 for the erma and $120 new for the Phoenix. I'm hoping to finish the single shot rifle project soon.

IT Demands Really Good Stalking Skills to take an Elk with a .25ACP if it is a Factory Loaded Cartridge you are using.

well here's hoping he didn't have to apply a gas check in addition to the white PC. On the other hand a copper gas check might make it less likely to be mistaken for a tic-tac. Unless of course when you load tic-tac you put a gas check on them too so they won't shatter. Or is a wad card enough for shooting candy?

I'd much rather have my falling axe! And thats no joke!! Not being able to hunt Elk here with our .45 Cal Muzzleloaders just doesn't make sense? But its the Law, and thats that! My Green Mountain fast twist barreled TC Hawken with 400 Grain paper patched bullets will drive nails at 100 yards, best shooting Muzzleloader i own, it Sickens me that I can NOT elk hunt with it

I'm getting ready to load .25 ACP.I just got a set of dies and have some lead hollow points coming from Hunters Supply.I was bidding on a mould on Ebay but it went for over $200.00.I dropped out way before the end.I have a nice 1910 Mauser in .25.

.25acp, practically a parlor gun

im pretty sure a wad card is good enough!

I think a nice SA revolver and a small bolt action repeater in .25 ACP would be a blast. Sort of a renewable .22 RF replacement.

Taurus makes a nice copy of the Beretta tilt barrel. Much higher quality than phoenix/raven/etc. I got my lyman mold, dies, some brass, swaged boolits in swap and sell here.

I wrote to Dillon to see if would sell a "blank" shell plate but they do not offer one. They told me they gave up on trying to load .25ACP on a progressive as they experienced problems with case alignment and primer searing.

So the OP is correct. It will be necessary to use a single stage or possibly a turret press.

[psweigle]

I load mine on a lee classic turret press.

Ruger "Single Eight" in .25ACP with a 10-5/8" barrel is FUN even though My "Grip" is still weak for the Muzzle heavy Revolver. Custom CF conversion of a Used "Single Six .22CAL Convertible".

.32 ACP loads just fine on a 550B, however. I think I was dropping 2.0gr of W231 pretty consistently.

At that powder charge, wouldn't a dipper work? Good thing is the PB supply would last a long time. only about 70lbs to do the 10K at 50 grains. 70lbs does like a magazine for my .50 beuwolf.

[lightload]

Please tell us how you located 10,000 .25 acp cases. My guess is from a handgun manufacturer.

[Soundguy]

If someone told me I had to load 10K 25 acp.. I'd quit reloading..

[KCSO]

I would rather take a whipping! I hate loading those tiny buggers.
