Looking for load data for the 25 WSSM. What is the go to powder for this caliber? Will run the factory stuff thru the chrony for a starting point.

I have two rifles chambered in 25 WSSM. One is a Winchester Coyote that my wife uses for shooting a doe each year, and I used to shoot it at a lot of paper (I know, expensive bullet for that, but it's a fun cartridge to shoot) and coyotes. That one I load up 100 gr. Barnes Tipped Triple Shocks and use 46.5 gr. of H4831SC, Federal GM215M primers, and haven't turned the necks yet. It shoots around 1/2" to 3/4" at 100. The other is a D-Tech rifle I had built for using on coyotes. That one I load up 100 gr. Sierra HPBT and use 41.5 gr. of Varget, Federal GM210M primers, and haven't turned necks on that one either. I had loaded up 700 rounds for both when I got them and am really close to out with both. I plan on annealing and turning necks for the next go around just to see if it helps that much. The D-Tech shoots about the same as the Winchester Coyote. I have shot the D-Tech at 1000 yards just to screw around and it was surprisingly accurate. Lobbed them in there pretty good. Seems to me from a 100 yard zero I have to dial in 35 MOA to be on at 1000. Not bad out of a gas gun with a short barrel.
