.25 ACP 55GR. Bullet Load

[a1parrothead]

Hello all,
I know this is not a popular caliber to reload, but I love to plink with my baby browning.
I found some 55gr. cast bullets and was wondering if anyone had any load data for this 55gr. bullet for the .25 ACP.
I cannot find anything in all my manuals, or on the internet for the 55gr. bullet!

A friend of mine loads for his .25 ACP pistols. He picked up a couple thousand brass for cheap through Shotgun News a few years ago. FMJ bullets are available from some bullet makers.
I don't know what load he's using, but the powder charges he mentioned once were really small.

It would be helpful to know what powders you have on hand. I load 1.3gr of HP-38 for a jacketed 50gr. Given that the 55 cast bullet will obdurate better and have higher friction, I would start at .8gr and work up until consistent function is achieved.

Hodgdon Powders list about a dozen loads for 50 gr .25 ACP loads. hodgdonreloading.com

Thank you all. I have MANY different powders on hand. Including Unique, Bullseye etc.
