Your chart says they have zeroed at 50 yards, not 25 yards.
Unless you know the adjustment you need from 25 to 50 yards, you won't know if you will be OK.

With a slower Lapua Center-X match bullet, I use 6.5 inches to adjust from 50 to 100 yards.

I think you'll find that Mini-mags will have transitioned through the transition zone for the speed of sound between 25 and 50 yards.
Most competitors use match bullets because their muzzle velocity is already below the speed of sound and the transition wobble won't effect the accuracy.
