The 200 grain Lasercast RNFP performs very well in my 625 with 5.8 grains of W231 or 5.0 grains of Trail Boss.

With a 200 SWC and 5.8 gr of W231, my 25-2 shows a definite accuracy preference for AR brass versus ACP brass in a full moon clip.

I use a 200 gr. full wadcutter bullet (mold from NEI) over 4.0 gr. Bullseye. This load will chew a single 10 shot ragged hole from a Ransom rest @ 50 yds.using my Model 25-2.

I use 200 Lswc Magma mold, cast hard. I've had luck with Unique or Bullseye. Often I don't bother with AR cases, though I load them interchangeably. With my 25-2, they flick out with a fingernail.
I have 225 L Flat Point also but usually save them for unthroated Semi Autos.

I keep my 45AR loads quite mild for my Brazilian 1917s. 5.5 grains of Unique under a 200 grain RNFP. That bullet is usually used for Cowboy Action shooting in 45 Colt rifles, but I like it in the 45AR. Very mild load. And the reason I like the AR case is because I don't like moon clips and the extractor will extract AR cases, it will not extract 45ACP cases.

Use any target load you would feed your fav. 45acp. Works fine in my 625.

I use 452423 and 6.0 - 6.5 gr of Unique in my 22-4.
