I load it just to keep some on hand. I use Hornady 35 gr. XTP and Bullseye, I think. Let me go out to the barn and i'll make sure. Be back in a bit.

I'm back. Yep, 35 gr. XTP and 35 gr. Gold Dots and 1.3-1.4 gr. of Bullseye.
 
Never loaded .25 but AA#2 meters well for .380 and .32 S+W long size charges.
.25 is lots smaller but AA#2 is probably the best metering pistol powder I have used.
 
I've loaded a little 25 ACP but not in a while. I have a bunch of 50 gr FMJ and stocked up on cases.

As a hedge against commercial bullets becoming unavailable, I do have a mould and bullet sizing die
 
Yes I do. Well I did back in the 80. 50 gr fmj bullet with bullseye powder. At one time I was getting a fmj hp bullet that had a BB in the hp. This bullet would go through a 1/2 sheet of plywood. Make a good hole. If I remember the only reason I started was I found a set of rcbs dies on the cheap and could not pass them up.
 
I had a Walther 25 Auto that looked just like a tiny PPK but had a different name. I picked up a set of dies, bullets & was about to get brass when i found out one of the kids took it for carry pistol. I was my usual nice guy & said OK or is that term "sucker" Not loading 25 saved me a lot of cuss words !!!!
 
I do every great once in a while just because I can, 15-20 of them gets me over that pretty fast though. Probably my least favorite cartridge to reload.
