From what I've gathered when reloading for the 25-7 there are no recommendations for loads hotter then any other 25. So I haven't pushed my reloads into the area of a Contender or Blackhawk. I've taken it to maximum standard loads without issue and those are a handful.
I mainly bought the 25-7 because of the low production numbers and I didn't own a .45 colt.
About the only difference in the 25s is the unfluted cylinder and the mat finish, why S&W decided to make them this way is probably for sales reasons like the model 29 classic hunter models.
