328: .25 Caliber Cartridges: The Ultimate Guide

The “quarter bore” section of the ballistics world doesn’t get a lot of love, certainly not when compared to the smaller 6mm, or larger 6.5mm, 270 cal, 7mm, or 30 cal bore diameters. Even so, the various 25 caliber cartridges have a very rich history and there some very interesting stories associated with them. In this episode, I hit the highlights of all of the 25 caliber SAAMI certified cartridges (plus a couple of other noteworthy rounds) and discuss their history, legacy, their strengths and weaknesses, and their recommended uses in detail. 

Cartridges covered: 25 ACP, 25 NAA, 256 Win Mag, 25-20 Winchester, 25-20 Single Shot, 25-35 Winchester, 25 Remington, 250 Savage, 25-45 Sharps, 257 Roberts, 25-06 Remington, 25 WSSM, 257 Weatherby Magnum
