The 25 Ugalde, also known as the Thompson/Center Ugalde, was developed by Wes Ugalde of Fallon, Nevada, in 1987. The cartridge, like other TCU cartridges, is based on the necked up and Improved 223 Remington case. The 25 TCU is intended for metallic silhouette shooting, but would also make a good varmint cartridge at moderate ranges. There is a good selection of 25 caliber bullets available in weights from 60 to 120 grains. By the standard of today, ballistics are not spectacular, but quite adequate for the intended purpose. Dean Grennell reported less than minute of angle groups. It is in about the same class as the old 25-35 and would be marginal for deer.
