    Try Veral Smith at LBT. David Mos' wife, Shelly I think, recently posted here that they have gotten out of the mould business.

    Regards,

    Hoch, Jim Borten, Leeth, etc....you'll have to decide on straight sided or tapered as most are breech loaded.

    Our own NOE made my (and Blammer's!) .25 Heavy, and in two sizes in the same block.

    When asking about .25 caliber molds, are you referring to pistol or rifle? You could probably get either from Accurate Molds or NOE may have one or two in stock for the rifles.

    RCBS has at least one mould design listed (120 grain SP) and a limited-production 100 grain flat-point as well. RCBS also shows their 85 grain plain-base Cowboy mould for the 25-20. Lyman still has their #257420, which runs about 72 grains minus GC. SAECO has at least one mould in 25 caliber as well. These aren't "custom" makers, but they will work in 25 caliber rifles quite well. I gave NV ground squirrels a lot of stress with #257420 this spring.
    I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.

    Ya still gots ta tell us rifle or pistol... it makes a difference. I would check with Jim Borton for a rifle mould as the "Quarter Bore Corps" is quite active in the American Single Shot Rifle Association. For pistolas, I don't know where to tell you to look.

    If you are interested in a heavy breech seated bullet, I've had a cherry made by PT&G to put together a group buy and am looking for people to go in on it to lower the cost.

    This is it,

    Elco 25

    I design it for 10 twist barrels. It has a Miller stability factor of 1.44 @ 1400 fps and 1.49 @ 1550 fps when shot in a 10 twist barrel.

    Did you ever get this mold into production. I can't get the image to size up in any detail but would imagine this is just the boolit to paperpatch in my 6.5

    I am also looking for a .25 ACP mould for a Colt 1908-1910 pocket pistol I inherited from my wife's Grandfater this past Winter. I have been able to find ammo for it but of course want to cast and reload my own eventually. I think the Winchester ammo I shoot out of it now is reloaded with a 50 grain FMJ bullet.

    I have been seeking a mould to cast .25ACP bullets. My top three wants include:
    Lyman 252-435
    RCBS 25-050-RN
    NOE RO-TL255-50 RF
    Ringing Lyman, RCBS (including Huntington Die) -- none seem available. I posted a WTB on this site with no results. Buffalo Arms lists the RCBS, but it may need to be made "in-house" by them. Albeit I rate Buffalo's moulds as high as one might rate -- I have a .38 S&W they made for me which is awesome -- I'm too poor to make an inquiry re the .25acp mould -- in the $200 USD range...
