i have allways thought something 10/22 sized in .32 or .25 would be really cool. another one i would want is i bet in a pistol the size of a g21 you could fit like 30+rounds of .32 it would just be a fun plinker but a multi round plinker at that if they can get 20 9mm in an xdm imagine how many .32's i could play with

I have a chamber adapter like one of these for shooting .32acp in my 7.7Jap. I think I got mine from Ajax grips probably 14-15 years ago. I believe they had a .25acp in 6.5Jap at the time but I didn't need or want one of those...

I have a tiny break-open 4-1/2 pound .32 ACP rifle with 18 inch barrel which I use for quiet garden pest control without disturbing the neighbors. I handload an 88-grain flatnosed .312 lead bullet with 1.5-1.7 grains of Bullseye which gives about 850 f.p.s. Ballistics are similar to a .32 Long rimfire. Shoots 5-shot inch groups at 25 yards with iron sights, no louder than a CB long, but hits alot harder. Much more effective on groundhogs, raccoons, etc. than a .22 LR

I'd much rather use a .25-06 if I'm going .25 caliber.

Until you fire the second shot............
Well, I don't think the old stevens or hopkins & allen .25 Rimfires can handle 55,000 PSI, nor would a small game hunter want a 75 gr. bullet at 3,700 FPS if he intends to eat his kill (though if he wants to pick up the pieces, it'd save time making stir fry). There is a purpose for lower powered quarterbores like the .25-20 and .25-35.

James Bond used one (an AR-7, but said to be in .25 cal) in Dr. No, but then that was Hollywood..................
Yeah, we found that a bit odd. As with all our data, it could be due to minor glitches in the testing (a burr left in the barrel from cutting, or chrono problems, et cetera) or it could just be that there is that much variation in the factory loads. It wouldn't take much variation to change the velocity of a 50gr slug.

No it was a few shots, it was more accurate than the remington core-lokt rounds I was firing through it.
