I had to Google that one, pytor.

Fugly little bruiser, isn't it.

In the 1920s steel was still becoming steel.
It wouldn't take special alloys for this one.

The .25 doesn't look like much at first glance.
It's a straight walled cartridge, center-fire,
with a semi-rimmed head.

Here are a whole bunch of diameters for you...

That should be a fair start.


32 grains of bullet at 1100 fps - almost 100 ft.lb.

Hardly metal working.
You could do that - in plastic.

"The socialist movement takes great pains to circulate frequently new labels for its ideally constructed state.
Each worn-out label is replaced by another which raises hopes of an ultimate solution of the insoluble basic
problem of Socialism, until it becomes obvious that nothing has been changed but the name.
The most recent slogan is "State Capitalism."[Fascism] It is not commonly realized that this covers nothing more
than what used to be called Planned Economy and State Socialism, and that State Capitalism, Planned Economy,
and State Socialism diverge only in non-essentials from the "classic" ideal of egalitarian Socialism. - Ludwig von Mises (1922)
