And they're no particular fun to shoot.wrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102470737392693528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-68527479302837480232010-01-13T08:52:56.557-05:002010-01-13T08:52:56.557-05:00Like loading an NEF 22 Cap & Ball revolver.

I loaded up a batch, it worked well (I seem to recall I used just over a grain of powder) but it's a royal PITA.<br /><br />Also, with our new law, lots of people gave their guns in to shops, along with the ammo. I can get 25 ACP ammo for about the same price as primers. So I'm stocking up :-)<br /><br />I recommend reloading for the 25 ACP for the same reason I recommend that anyone who wants to wrench on cars should work on a Citroen -- after that, anything else is easy.wrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102470737392693528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-47123525899106576362010-01-12T01:49:59.267-05:002010-01-12T01:49:59.267-05:00"Reloading .25ACP should be like building a s..."Reloading .25ACP should be like building a ship in a bottle..."<br /><br />The latest Guns & Ammo had an article on reloading the .25 ACP. The author ended up using the powder equipment for a .17 caliber, and was forced to use a scientific scale and tweezers to get an accurate powder load.Dixiehttp://dixiecarpetbagger.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-22804520056802420402010-01-11T16:02:48.151-05:002010-01-11T16:02:48.151-05:00I wonder what size a Lee powder-dipper would be fo...I wonder what size a Lee powder-dipper would be for a .25acp?
