Indeed! In shorter barrels they have similar Muzzle Energy. But if you compare a standard .22LR round, like the "Golden Bullet 36 grain", the 25ACP beats it. Stinger and Velocitor definitely exceed the .25ACP. But there aren't any +P loads for 25ACP commercially.

Appreciate the advice above!
Yeah, lightly clean with a Scotchbrite pad and gun oil to remove the actual rust, then flip it.
