Due to expansion ratio increase of the 25 anything that is MAX in a 6X45 with same same bullet weights, given similar style bullets, will be safe in the 25X45.
That's why loading the 6X45 is so easy as we have all the data for MAX starting loads in the the 223 we use as close to top end 6X45. The variance is not all that great going from 223 to 6 to 25.
Remember that loading manuals are only guides and not carved in stone. Every variation from the EXACT test materiel and conditions will perform differently in your rifle. YOU determine what you are comfortable with. I've seen some loads here that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole and I'm sure others have seen me post up things they feel the same about.
