Any suggestions for 25-20 SS loads using heavier bullets: 115 and 120 grain?

Thanks in advance

What kind of a twist is that going to take?

Mine's a 1-10. I'd imagine 1-12 would work on the 115 grainers, though I'm not absolutely certain of that. Bullet length also plays a role. I may have a report after shooting some 120s tomorrow.

Thanks Westerner and bnice. So far my best results have been with a 115 gr bullet pushed by 7.8 gr of 4227. I've never used Reloader 9 in a 25-20 cartridge but will try it with the 120 gr gas checked bullet I have. That bullet is cast with an RCBS mold and my first batch was iffy, at best. That's not the fault of the mold which appears to be okay. 

Thanks again guys

My best potential yet was with Re7 but I ran out of it. Here are some loads for the NOE118 and one for a Hoch105.
