Here's what the Hornady manual says but you should verify this before you use this data.
If you send me you email address I'll send you a screen shot from the Hornady book. I can't send it via PM.

25gr is a good amount if you are loading on a progressive for plinking ammo. You don't want to be too aggressive if you are relying on just a powder drop. If you are weighing each charge, then you should work up a load and see what shoots the best.
