Great ballistic video, I just wish there was a chronograph for these .25acp ammo rounds. I trust hard cast about as much as a copper jacket. I want to say these rounds get about 100-130fpe in small pistol size and that a chronograph would be better.
I am not sure about a resurgence. There are only a few companies that make new guns, but there are so many old guns people still need ammo. BB also makes a 50 grain hard ball load I am anxious to try out.
@@scb0421 I hope to test the 50 soon. I am not sure I am worried about a few extra inches beyond FBI standards, especially with light-grained ammo. I am sure there is a slight danger but there is more by simply missing the target entirely.
I have 3 .25 ACP pistols. I love them as a pocket carry. A mouse gun that puts holes in 5-7 yards on a perp that wants to critical injury is better than a stick.
Most shootings I saw the results of back in my LE days were with .25acp. Very, very effective when put into the brainpan. Much more powerful rounds don't work usually if they miss the brain/spine/heart/aorta. Great test! Thanks!
.25 ACP is more capable than .22LR, although it's pretty close. The misconceptions come from .22LR velocities being listed from like 24"+ test barrels & .25 ACP being tested from tiny pocket guns. Seeing Buffalo Bore load one up properly shows that better than I can explain it.
No it is not!! At all! You seem not to know that theres specific .22 ammo for small barrels, design dor personal defense, reaching 1000 ot more fps and more than 200 joules of energy. .25acp, even these buffalo bore, doesnt come even close. In addition, there's no good guns in .25, basically old 50 years old junk that jams once every 5 shots. You have extremely high quality and high capacity .22 pistols today
But those light weight 22lr bullets dont penetrate deep at all. They wont even exit a human. They just have higher energy but very low penetration @@rubenprata8272
Informative video and also very helpful. I currently use the Hornady FTX Critical Defense for my concealed carry, but after watching your video I may switch to the Buffalo Bore.
Federal 25 ACP punch 45 grain is available now, never thought 25 would be on their mind but they included it, Phoenix arms, barreta, browning guns are still being used so its nice to see a new ammo choice
The BB velocity is the secret of its success more so than the added weight and flat nose. At grossly subsonic speeds, meplats don't add anything over round nose and you can see the meplat round did cause a malfunction - regardless of the excuse made for it. Standard 25ACP usually averages about 750fps which means a 100fps+ increase is 14% faster with the 60gr bullet providing 96 fpe, versus 62 fpe for the 50gr. at 750fps. That's a solid 34 fpe increase or 54% greater energy, concentrated across the same cross-section. But, if the standard 50gr. RN was also loaded to 850fps it would give 80 fpe which is right at 30% more energy in a more reliable jacketed round nose. If the 25 pistol safely fired the heavy BB load without damage, then ALL 25 ACP ammo could be loaded hotter, but as is typical with an industry that won't be standing there when you need to defend your life with their product, everything is deliberately underloaded. This doesn't much matter when talking about the 500 S&W and such, but with the 25 ACP the difference in 100fps is substantial. A bullet that can pass through nearly 30 inches of gel can pass through a human torso or skull with ease, and 9 shots properly placed will do the job - biggly.
Pretty good performance. Any other caliber this design would be for a different purpose, but in the .25 the design is to just make it comparable to .380 ACP hollow points, sort of. Goes from almost worthless to, maybe okay. Makes me wonder, if .22 Mag and .25 ACP went head to head in comparable guns, which one would be more effective with the best ammo offerings.
That is a good test idea. In general, people say that the 22 LR has more power but that wood test has me thinking otherwise. Plain 50 grain ball and 40 grain 22 LR solids have basically the same ballistic coefficient and the former went deeper in that particular test.
22lr rounds are typically plated not jacketed as where 25 is jacketed. Pretty sure 22 magnum is jacketed so it makes me curious to see 22 mag vs 25 acp in pocket / Snubbies too

So much for the mouse gun big mouths. This load puts the 22 lr to 25acp to bed. 20 gr heavier load at 850 fps , penetrating to 15-18 inches. A small pistol that can be hidden easily, firing this load , is a lifesaver

You don’t know what you are talking about. I have several 25 acp pistols, all quality. The Beretta model 20 is 100% reliable, holds 9 rounds and is accurate. I also have and carry 22 pistols, a Walther Tph. Reliable and accurate. Does not handle bullet weights this heavy. Usually use CCI40 gr mini mags, Stingers 32 gr. Penetration is not as much h as the Buffalo Bore round . Can also hand load the 25acp round in 55 gr to 900 fps
Huge fan of cast bullets. I have cast and shot various calibers for 50+ years. I now coat any of em with HT coat. it is really only recently that ammo makers have been doing cast bullets. the advantage of cast over jacketed is that you can get higher velocity with less pressure and really? expansion is rare in any case at that velocity with even jacketed HP ammo. The other interesting thing is the flat point design. All my cast loads are either SWC or flat point with the .30 Carbine for my BH being about as close to the BB flat point as I have tried. But if they won't feed I have no use for em
I posted a comment on another vid and somehow the " I never liked this guy" comment winds up here, how did that happen. I do like this video and hope to see more of his stuff.
I had feeding issues with a little Beretta DA that replace the SA 25. The jump from the mag to feed ramp is longer on the DA gun. It also did not like the 35gr HP types at all. Jammed them as compared to the SA Beretta.
I shot 28 rounds through my SA Jetfire (950B) today without any sort of failure. I know that's not a lot, but they costs $2.50 per round! Anyhow, you can tell that these are more powerful loads than your typical 25 round. For that reason, I wouldn't shoot a ton of these bullets through an alloy frame gun like the Jetfire. These are point and shoot guns, so a lot of target practice beyond function tests isn't necessary anyhow.
Your comment said you have a Jetfire that's made of a metal alloy? It's been 4 months but I assume you'll get notified of my comment. Did you get any damage from the 60 grain? I ordered some for my Raven arms and it's Zinc Alloy. I'm curious if I'm going to break my gun.
Raven arms 25 acp is all i had back in 1986 so i need to get a 25 acp gun since i dont have one, a baby browning would be nice or some knock off close to the looks and quality of it
I wish they would make a 25 caliber pistol cartridge with the same case length as a 9mm (.750"). And make it really high pressure, I want 1200 fps with a 60 grain bullet. I want it in a pistol like the Bersa thunder with a single stack magazine, and a browning BDA pistol with a compact double stack magazine. Lastly, a Ruger 10-22 like rifle with drum mags and full auto switch. Basically, some automatic 22's that are a little more powerful with more reliable feeding with center-fire primers and rebated rims, which are more reliable in magazines than rimfire cartridges.
Thanks for the video. I normally shoot 50 grain FMJ in my 25acp Beretta. I will have to try the 60 grain hard-cast Buffalo Bore ammo. It looks promising.
I almost did not buy these rounds because of you. I stopped watching when you had a failure, came back a week later and saw your hand hold up the slide and continued watching. You caught it too, but you also insinuated it was the pistols fault at first. Good job on your video, I just did a bad job watching it.
We had a little .25 of West German,as was, manufacture but I can't remember what the company that made it was called.I always found the .25 a bit of a better penetrator than the .22 LR due to it's harder. bullets.
I got several 25s mainly as collectibles or nostalgic toys in the case of a Raven. I wish I had kept the little Beretta I had now that this is out. But I will price this stuff, bet it is too steep for practice. Since you don't get expansion in a 25, the flat nose profile helps.
Wow! The limit on a tomcat to be safe is 130ft/lb for a .32 acp. The .25 idk if has a max muzzle energy limit but if it could be pushed to 120 ft/lb that would be amazing. Im sure it could since the weak point is the frame and both share the frame
looks like BB made a 25 into a 32. the bullet weight, and speed is close to what you get from a Tomcat. I do wonder if this load is safe in my 950bs. if it is then it is going to be used alot. PSA says not to put these in their 25 auto.
I think the buffalo bore .25 fmj while slightly slower than the hard cast would likely penetrate better than the solid lead. But I was actually impressed by that lead 25 denting that second board.
I am too. I did eventually post a gel test on the BB FMJ load. It has 100 feet per second on old school loads but not much more in terms of penetration.
If you look at where the 25 hit it was in a knot and the 380 was in the grain. I do not like board tests get that same board and use a hatchet and chop it down the middle and you'll see. Beretta's are notoriously ammo picky. It would have been better if you fired the 380 in the gel as well.
@@professorpewpuew I purchased 2 boxes of it. That ammo does NOT fit into the tip up barrel of my Jetfire, it doesnt sit flush, thus preventing the breach from being closed.

Hello James, IMHO the 21A Bobcat is inferior to the 950 JetFire. My Bobcat (which I no longer own) was very ammo sensitive, while the 950 has processed every manufacturer and loading I have tried. I will order both Buffalo Bore loadings, try them in my 950, and let you know the outcome. Thanks again for another informative video.
Hello Harold. I went on to test the other Buffalo Bore 50 grain FMJ load. It functioned flawlessly. I like my Bobcat but no question it is a thicker gun than it needs to be compared to the Jetfire.
You asked for it and you got it.
This will be cool. I have never seen a test like this before, I doubt anyone has ever done a hard cast .25 ACP anywhere on YT.

Might need a stronger magazine spring.
Polish the feed ramp and you won't have feed problems. A Dremel and flitz works the best
Hard cast bullets penetrative deeper than standard ball rounds
Very cool!
Good stuff
Where can I get this ammo ?
Try using half inch plywood
How cute! (a little hot for my Astra Hope ,,though)
The bear country load for those carrying a 25 acp.
wtf is the point of hard cast 25 acp?
There isn't much penetration with a 25. Going hard cast, heavy for caliber, and pushing it a little faster is so you can get as much as possible.
So they can make $2 a round off people not smart enough to carry a 380 or 9mm.
Show some gd respect @@FoulPet
Bullet actually weighs closer to 55 gr,,is made by Rim Rock. That is what they list it as
Не знал что 25АСР так много пробивает, эта же человека насквозь пробьет.
Looks like Yellow Pine. Much harder than soft White Pine studs!!!
Missed .32acp
Wonderfull!
Do NOT purchase this ammunition for a Beretta Jetfire 950 BS. The round does NOT seat properly.
That looks like hard treated Pine

Almost 72$ for a box of 20 to ship to me in Florida 😂😂😂 wtf
