How can ya tell a feller likes to reload? 25 acp

[PA4476]

I have been reloading since I was 7 years old. I would sit in the floor and deprime brass for my dad with a hammer and an old Lee Loader. 44 mag, 45 Colt, & 12 ga shotgun.
There hasn’t been a time in the last 49 years that I didn’t own reloading equipment.
I reload for every cal and ga of every firearm I own. From 380 to 50 Beowulf and everything in between, 410,28,20 & 12 ga too.
Up until a few days ago, I didn’t load for a little 1908 Colt vest pocket 25 that I own. Thanks to another ODT’r. I now load 25 acp’s.
They are tiny, only using 1.2 grains of Red Dot powder each with a 50 gr bullet.
Now, you know ya have to enjoy reloading to load 25’s.
Here’s a couple pics of the comical loading.

They run around 750-765.

As a fellow “Roll my own” I say well done. I'd have to use tweezers just to put the brass in the shell holder!

They look very good. I've loaded many but that is one I never . I started with my Dad too, and load now with grandkids.

Not many people reload that caliber. To be a small round, they are pretty pricey.

Great job! They look and I am sure they shoot well. 25ACP's (factory) can cost more that some larger calibers by far --if they can be located.

Components for them can also be hard to find. Primers are starting to be more available but brass and bullets are still scarce.

>32acp is as small as I go and there hard enough for me to deal with.
