25 Hornet reloading data help

Hi Folks,
Am looking for some help on my latest project rifle chambered in 25 Hornet, has anyone found any new loading data for the 25 Hornet or some that you have developed yourself, should state for shooting cast bullets at Shcuetzen velocities 1550fps max? 
I do have the QuickLoad program but really like to hear what others have found that works well for them with different (Newer) powders and cast bullet weights, I will be limited to about 90gr to 100gr FN style max weight cast bullet  as my rifle has 1:14" twist.

Thanks for any help in advance, 
Mike

Thanks for the link, I have read that post through and it had some good info, I was looking for some recent data, there are a lot of folks shooting the 25 caliber / Quarter Bore match's now, hoped maybe someone was using it in competition and had something new to add.

Appreciate your help craigster, Mike

Mike Dave Purcell has been using it with great success in competition for several years. If you can get your hands on a copy of the ISSA National Events results the load data should be listed in the equipment list. Unfortunately Dave does not visit this site but RWS should be able to look it up for you.

Thanks John & Frank that is the info I'm looking for, will have a lot more on my 25 Hornet rifle in the future!

Wish my barrel had the faster twist but only 1:14" so I ordered a Leeth 25804103 Mould that weighs 103grs and short enough to work in the  twist barrel I have.
