Thanks for that link. What I would really like is some once fired or new 25 ACP brass though, not loaded ammo.
I'm fairly sure he gave you that link so you can shoot the ammo and then have the once fired cases for reloading since 25 ACP brass is hard to find instock.Thanks for that link. What I would really like is some once fired or new 25 ACP brass though, not loaded ammo.

Correct.
That leaves out Western Powders (Accurate/Ramshot). No data in v.8 of their online manual.You also want something with load data from the powder maker.
I asked the indoor range where I shoot regularly about .25 and .32 ACP about a year ago - post-plandemic but pre-panic - and was getting quotes in the high $100+/500 pcs. I kindly and gratefully declined but now kinds wish I'd bit that bullet and got some of the .32. At the time I was still seeing loaded ammo prices equal to "once-fired" indoor range brass prices. Not no mo!You are correct I'm sure. I did understand that, but I really just don't want to pay that price for loaded cartridges to mainly harvest the brass after firing. I may have to, but I was just hoping to find some unloaded brass....and 25 ACP brass seems unobtainable. I do have 65 pieces saved though.
Where are you finding bullets for .25acp?
Lyman’s 48th has jacketed data but only for one bullet with Accurate No.2, Hornady 35gr JHP.Me either, checked all the old accurate and western PDFs, should work though.
Very good advice. And of course a chronograph would help.With a book max of 1.3 grs Bullseye, one pound will load more than 5300 loads.
For many 25 ACP shooters, the above could be real close to a lifetime supply (as long as the pound is only used in 25ACP)
After working with Bullseye, you may want to try the AA 2. Looking at burn rates, AA 2 is not too far from Titegroup and just slower than Bullseye and 700x. Based on the listed charges for these and other powders in 25 ACP and 32ACP, starting at 1.0 gr looks to be safe. Work up in 0.1 gr increments until the fired cases look pretty close to the Bullseye fired cases.
I’ve been wondering about that. Is a chronograph a must have?Very good advice. And of course a chronograph would help.
