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.

A GUN THAT'S COCKED AND UNLOADED AIN'T GOOD FOR NUTHIN'........... ROOSTER COGBURN
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.
You are right Kai, it is 25-20. What do you have in 25 caliber bullets?

For the 25-20 you might look at Missouri Bullets

Not seeing anything listed for the 25-35 though

genealogy, another area of interest

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.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger - or else it gives you a bad rash.
Venison is free-range, organic, non-GMO and gluten-free
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.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
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.
When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.
