OK I don't own a .25 but on the .25 size charges I decided to retest AA#2, and test a few others.
Same setup, GEM 20 scale
Lee 3 Hole Turret
Lee Auto Drum
9mm case and powder drop
(note didn't fiddle a lot trying to get the exact desire charge more concerned with charge to charge variation.)

So it still looks like charges of AA#2 can be thrown with this setup, the other three you would end up throwing a lot of charges back.
If I was going to load .25 I would invest in a lb of AA#2, then if you wanted perfection, trickle, but it sure gets you close. A lb should be good for 3500 rounds give or take so $25-$30 worth of powder would last a long time
Sure looks like it would make life easier when loading .25
(AA#2 also works well for .380, .45 ACP, ok in 9mm but I like something slower for 9mm)
