To differentiate from the related .25 Stevens Short it is sometimes also referred to as .25 Stevens Long. [ 2 ] Developed by J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company and Peters Cartridge Company , [ 1 ] it was developed between 1898 and 1900; catalogs suggest it was introduced in 1898, but most sources agree on 1900. [ 1 ]
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."
The .25 Stevens Short was an American rimfire rifle cartridge, introduced in 1902. [1] Developed by J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company, [2] it was intended to be a lower cost, less potent variant of the .25 Stevens, on which it was based. [1] It initially used a 4.5 to 5 gr (0.29 to 0.32 g) black powder charge; this was later replaced by smokeless.

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. It was highly ...
The unpopularity of the bottlenecked case led Stevens to develop the .25-21 in 1897. 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.
