The .25 Stevens / 6.4x28mmRF was an American rimfire rifle cartridge. [1] To differentiate from the related .25 Stevens Short it is sometimes also referred to as .25 Stevens Long . [ 2 ]
Designed by Capt. W. L. Carpenter, 9th U.S. Infantry, the .25-21 Stevens was essentially a shortened version of the company's own .25-25 of 1895. [13] (This is an odd reversal of the relationship of the .38 S&W Special to the .357 Magnum.) The .25-25 would be used in Stevens' model 44 and the model 44½ rifles manufactured from 1903. [13]
It was used in Stevens' single shot Model 44, as well as the Model 44 + 1 ⁄ 2 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." [2] It was also found the usual 20 or 21 gr (1.30 or 1.36 g) black powder charge of the shorter, bottlenecked .25-21 offered "practically the same ballistics" as 24 or 25 gr (1.56 or 1.62 g) in the .25-25.
