25acp reloading?

[csburtch]

After reloading all of my brass, 6.8spc, 5.56, 9mm, I thought I would do an inventory and reevaluate what I had. WHAT! I only have 42 rounds of 25 auto?
That's no good. So I started looking for dies and supplies online. Found the dies online but no brass or bullets. Everyone is out of them. Any idea who would have them in stock? Anyone have the 25auto ingredients they don't need anymore?

I was thinking about getting the stuff to do 25acp too, but never got around to looking for supplies.

I shoot it rarely enough that I decided I'd rather buy a box now and then, instead of spending the time and money to load. I'll focus my time and money on loading the stuff I shoot the hell out of, instead of the stuff I shoot two or three times a year.

Ha, and now that I've added absolutely no useful information...

I've been shooting a little .25 ACP (no pun intended) and briefly considered saving the brass for reloading, since factory seems to cost at least as much as 9 mm. But, I don't shoot it anywhere near enough to justify getting set up to reload it. That said, I should start saving the brass so I can offer it to those who do.

I don't shoot it (raven 25) my 11 year old love shooting golf balls at about 20 ft. Believe it or not she hits them. The raven is too small for my xl hands. Just thought I could keep her shooting without breaking the bank. She'll shoot a box and a half each trip. (pricey!)

tiny case capacity and extra tiny powder charges with not a lot of case mouth to work with in the first place so it's dreadfully easy to wreck a case with a just not perfectly aligned bullet. It really is a PITA to reload. I have done it in the past and will have to do more eventually but it's not high on my list of things to spend the time on. Apart from that the bullets are so tiny I used tweezers to get them lined up for the seating die. no fun.
