25 caliber bullits

[GOPHER SLAYER]

I have two nephews with 25 caliber rifles, one in 25-35 and the other in25-20. I told both of them I would reload ammo for them since I have plenty of brass for both cartridges. When I searched for bullets I could not find any in 25 caliber.

Are you asking about CB's or JSP's? If memory serves, the 25/35 was usually loaded with heavies (117+ gr.) while the 25/20 was usually loaded with 65-85 gr.

I have two nephews with 25 caliber rifles, one in 25-35 and the other in25-29. I told both of them I would reload ammo for them since I have plenty of brass for both cartridges. When I searched for bullits I could not find any in 25 caliber.

I assume you meant 25-35 and 25-20 not 25-29? I cast for and load both 25-35 and 25-20. I also have plenty jacketed bullets for both. Perhaps I can help?

You are right Kai, it is 25-20. What do you have in 25 caliber bullets?

I have several boxes of hornady 117gr jacketed fp bullets for the 2535. I cast NOE 260285 85fp that I load in both guns.

For the 25-20 you might look at Missouri Bullets

Not seeing anything listed for the 25-35 though

Did you find bullets?

If you just want to try it for grins, I have some Lyman 252435, plain base as cast. They are nominally 50 grain. I could send you some free gratis just to try.

I'm in a similar boat - 25-20 and 25 Krag AI. Several years ago I found a bunch of blems and bought some. I use a cast 257420 (I believe, it's upstairs and I'm downstairs) in the 25-20 and have a large bunch of gas checks for the .25 caliber boolits as well. Keep searching, they are available periodically.

I am also sending you a PM.

I have the same issue with a 10" contender barrel in .256 WM no one makes a decent bullet for it anymore I need a 60 grain that opens at the lower velocity .
The 60 gr. flatpoint for the 25-20 shoots terribly for me and anything over 75 grains tumbles . I tried some Sierra 70 or 75 grains a couple years ago and they will not expand they did shoot accurately .
I have tried bumping home swaged .224 bullets in it they open up well but accuracy has been poor at best . I did cut a set of swage dies but no matter what I do burrs ruin the point forming die . The bullets I bumped up used the body die and the .224" point die and the nose is just not centered properly.
