In the early 80's I had both a 4" and a 6" 25-5. They liked soft lead 225 SWC/HP/HB best. Since I can't get that ammo any more, I load up 220 gr. RNFP made with soft lead, sized .452". This is in the 750-800 fps velocity. I use this for everything but big game! Since I have 22 pounds of WW231 I use 6.7 grains with WLP primer.
