RevoJunior Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Can anyone tell me about a 25-2 TTT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underlug Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Can anyone tell me about a 25-2 TTT? 6 or 6 and 1/2 inch barrel .45 acp N-Frame with Target sights, hammer, and trigger. You will probably replace all 3 Ts Sometimes, they refer to the target grips as a T (you will probably replace those, too) Edited January 4, 2011 by underlug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom E Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Also notorious for having way oversize cylinder throats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underlug Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Also notorious for having way oversize cylinder throats. The cylinder can also be oblong along with the oversized throats. My 25-2 sports a 625 cylinder (thank you Randy Lee). But, everything can be made right Edited January 4, 2011 by underlug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Keep in mind that 25-2s usually shoot fine--as long as you stick with jacketed bullets. I've reached the point where I don't really want to deal with the smoke and mess from cast lead bullets anyway. I might feel different if I were a high-volume shooter, but those days are in the past for me also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBorland Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Keep in mind that 25-2s usually shoot fine--as long as you stick with jacketed bullets. Sorry for being dense, but I'm missing something: If 25-2 throats are often oversized, why do they shoot jacketed bullets better? Aren't jacketed smaller than cast? Why wouldn't the larger cast bullets shoot better? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 My 25-2 shoots 230 Precision Black bullets very nicely... The only jacket I have shot has been WWB and they did well also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't the larger cast bullets shoot better? Tom I'm not convinced the accuracy problems known to exist with the 25-2s and cast bullets is caused by oversized throats. There have been lots of internet postings regarding throat problems on 25-5s, but that's a different gun altogether. I think at least part of the problem with the 25-2s lies with the rifling in the factory barrels. Not exactly sure, but it has always appeared to me that the rifling in 25-2 barrels can get a decent "bite" on jacketed bullets, but allows lead bullets to strip a little. We've discussed this a lot in the past. Most 25-2s don't like lead. Sometimes you can run oversized (.454") or unsized cast lead bullets and have good results.

GOF Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Mike, Is there any 625 model/series that will shoot lead bullets, particularly Speer 230 swaged lead, well? By well I mean 3 or so inch groups at 25 yards with a decent load. By decent load, I mean the same load that will do 3 or so 25 yard inches in a 1911 or M&P .45. I would like to shoot major revo, but would prefer to do it with lesser cost lead bullets. I have have played with a few different 625s owned by friends and have not been impressed with their lead bullet performance. GOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOF I'm not Mike but I like the speer 230s in my 625-8 for everything but the cost in a high volume game. I was getting them for 90 a 1k or something like that. They shot really well. I never tried them in a 1911 much but the five or ten I did put through hit where the sights lifted. I was running 4.0 of clays with an OAL of stands as tall as a remington 230 fmj factory load.

DougCarden Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Your most accurate load....I have found for 230 lead is 4.5-4.7gr SOLO 1000 at around 1.220 or so. See if that works in your revo...if it wont, then try 4.2 of CLAYS with a 230fmj.....if not, then try the oversized lead bullets....454 with the CLAYS. I personally like the taylor throating for lead bullets , but your results may vary.... Good luck, DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Taylor Throating....yeah....probably should send the bullets off to be cryo-treated, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 send the bullets off to be cryo-treated Man, you revo guys pull out all the stops don't you?

Intel6 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I have done some serious ransom resting of my "model of 1988" 625 in the past and had some excellent results with cast lead bullets. I mainly focused on 200 SWC's and 200 RNFP's at the time and they performed well. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
