Bullet for 25 caliber

I have a Hepburn with a RWS gain twist barrel chambered in 25-20 SS and I am looking for input as to a bullet for breech seating. I assume that I want a tapered bullet, but what about weight, length, etc. Thanks in advance for your advice. Jim

Traditionally the .25-20 SS used 85 grain bullets.

However modern versions with a tighter 9:1 twist were using 122 grain bullets.

I just realized that I hit the wrong letter when typing my inquiry, it should have been RKS not RWS, but some of you probably know that. The barrel has a right hand twist and ends in a 10.

With a 1:10 twist you will be able to shoot a 120 gr. bullet that is 1.00" long.

If you can get your hands on a MOS 120gr. and rare as Hens Teeth you could never want for more

I might suggest you look at the NOE 260-117 gr MOS design bullet for breach seating.  nice profile.
It is showing promise for me in my "about 10 twist" Douglas barreled Hoch.  But I admit i am early in this game.
