25 ACP – 50 gr FMJ – PMC (25A) – 1000 Rounds

Small 25 ACP pocket pistols are still common in safes and nightstands, and many have not been fired in years because the ammunition can be hard to find. This listing is PMC Bronze 25 ACP 50 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN 25A, sold as a 1,000 round case.

PMC rates this load at 750 fps with 62 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 50 grain FMJ is the standard bullet weight for the 25 ACP, sometimes called the 25 Auto or 6.35mm Browning. The round nose jacketed bullet feeds reliably in the tiny magazines and short feed ramps of vest-pocket pistols. Its low recoil makes it easy to shoot, and a supply this size lets you finally test a vintage pistol and get comfortable with its sights and trigger.

This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 25 ACP, including the Baby Browning and Browning 1906, Colt 1908 Vest Pocket, Beretta 950 Jetfire and 21A Bobcat, Raven MP-25, Jennings J-25, Phoenix Arms HP25, and Taurus PT-25. A common question is whether 25 ACP and 25 Auto are the same. Yes. The names 25 ACP, 25 Auto, and 6.35mm Browning describe the same cartridge. Another common question is whether 25 ACP fits a 22 caliber pistol. It does not. The cartridges differ in case and bullet dimensions, so use only ammunition that matches the caliber marked on the slide.

PMC 25A is new production ammunition, not reloads, loaded in South Korea by PMC. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and is non-corrosive. This case contains 20 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 1,000 rounds. For a caliber that can disappear from shelves for long stretches, a full case keeps a pocket pistol fed for years of practice and function checks. It is also a sensible amount to share across several older pistols in a family collection.
