The .25-25 Stevens was an American centerfire rifle cartridge.[1]
Designed by Capt. W. L. Carpenter, 9th U.S. Infantry,[2] in 1895,[1] the .25-25 Stevens was the company's first straight-cased cartridge.[1] It was used in Stevens' single shot Model 44, as well as the [[Stevens Model 44 1/2|Model Шаблон:Frac]] rifles, which first went on sale in 1903.[1] In addition, it was available in the Remington-Hepburn target rifle.
While the .25-25 was popular, the .25-21 offered "practically the same performance and was a little cleaner shooting."[1] It also suffered a "freakish"[1] appearance, due to its length to diameter ratio.[1] It was also found that the usual Шаблон:Convert black powder charge of the shorter [3] 25-21 offered "practically the same ballistics" as Шаблон:Convert in the .25-25.
The switch to smokeless powder only exacerbated the problem, due to the small charge.[1] To cure this, handloaders use a mix of Шаблон:Convert of bulk shotgun powder and Шаблон:Convert of black powder, with bullets of between Шаблон:Convert.
The bore diameter of the .25-25 Stevens is .250 inches (6.35 mm) making it a ".25"/6.35 mm caliber" cartridge, not to be confused with the more well known 6.5 mm bore caliber which uses 6.7 mm/.264" bullets.
