Rugerfan.64,
what is the Franken Rifle?
good shooting. what was the powder charge, case, and primer for that 120 SMK load?
i assume on the Ruger Hawkeye, that you've done the customary bedding, action screw torquing, trigger adjusting, scope base/rings tightness checking, scope swapping, load development, crown checking, and barrel cleaning, right? when you say it shoots poorly, how bad is poorly? is it a new rifle? or an older one? have you contacted Ruger? i don't have anything 25 caliber, but based upon reputation only have you tried any Hornady 75gr. HP bullets (if they still make them?) or a Sierra bullet? just some thoughts....
