Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Model 25 S&W

I believe that the 25-5 is superbly accurate and will shoot even better with the 250 grain bullet. You will also see that it will out penetrate the 225. I would relax your load and consider the factory velocity of around 850 FPS or even a tad less. Even at those velocities there isn’t a deer in North America that will stop that bullet at that velocity.

I use 6 grains of Red Dot powder. It works in all of my 45 Colt guns...
