Hi, my name is Ethan, this is my first post here and this felt like the best place to post updates and potentially seek other peoples' experiences and knowledge on the subject.
I recently got a set of dies for .25 acp aswell as a Beretta 21a. I soon went on the search for bullets and could find no 50gr or 35gr for sale which is all the published data online. Instead I picked up some swaged lead hollow point .25 cal airgun pellets weighing in at 34 grains as well as ordering 500 55gr bullets from rimrock bullets. The powder I have on hand is IMR target but am in search of HP-38.
Published load data for IMR target with 35 grain hornady XTPs is 1.6-1.9gr and with 50 grain bullets is 1.2-1.5gr. here is where I could use some insight, considering starting at around .8gr of IMR Target behind a 55 grain cast boolit and also 1.6 grains behind 34 grain swaged pellets to start.
Thanks in advance to anyone who adds thought to this project.
