For compact pistol practice, 25 ACP ammo from PPU delivers consistent cycling and clean brass at a working-range price point. This 50 grain full metal jacket load pushes 771 feet per second from a 2-inch test barrel — adequate velocity for reliable slide operation in Beretta Jetfire, Baby Browning, and similar pocket autos. The full metal jacket profile feeds cleanly through tight magazine geometries and preserves case mouths for reloaders who process their brass. Prvi Partizan has manufactured small-caliber cartridges in Serbia since 1928, supplying commercial and military contracts across Europe. All production meets SAAMI dimensional standards and undergoes in-process quality checks before packaging.
Load Profile
The 50 grain FMJ bullet seated in boxer-primed brass cases uses non-corrosive propellant that burns consistently across temperature ranges. Muzzle energy of 66 foot-pounds sits at the lower end of centerfire pistol performance — expected for a cartridge designed for concealed backup guns rather than duty use. The reloadable brass cases accept standard small pistol primers and permit multiple loading cycles when processed with carbide dies. Lead core construction means the bullet contains reportable quantities of lead under California Proposition 65 — store away from heat sources and unauthorized users, and wash hands after range sessions.
