holdinsteady Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Just bought a slightly used 25-2 with 6" bbl....put Hogue grips on it to keep it from busting my knuckle. Am interested in loading data for it, I've been using Precision molycoats in my semi autos and wondering if they will work ok in the 25-2? What loads do you like in this gun for busting steel. I ordered a Weigand sight base and a Leupold Delta Point....my eyes do better with the optical sights. Any tips of wisdom for a new 25-2 owner?

Carmoney Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Yes--for best results, stick with jacketed bullets. Most 25-2s do not perform well with cast lead bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this due to chamber/bore dimensions ......or something else? Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom E Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Usually the chamber throats are the issue. They should be .452 but are usually .454-.456 on the 25-2's. A 625 (or Ti 325) cylinder can be fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom E Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Ti 325 ?? Titanium "625" cylinder. They're from a 325. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx Tomm I will take some measurements and maybe try some Precision molycoats. Do you think cast bullets sized to .454 might work? Is it usually the cylinder throat that is oversized or is the bore large also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom E Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Just the cylinder throat is oversize. Try the bullets you have first. If they work ok you've saved yourself a hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
