I have the 175T and it doesn't show on my chart either. I think it's a good bet.
The machine can feed .035 wire and it can supply gas. What more do you need?

A beefier gun.
Dual shield beats the crap out of small guns.
It is why I have HUGE 40 amp guns on my Betamig 250 at home and the
Millermatic 300 at school.

Would it be ok to use .045" dual shield wire with a M25 gun on my
Millermatic 251?

In a few weeks I'm going to be putting together a power hammer out of 1/2"
H-beam and was planning on using .045" dual shield.

Only for short periods.
0.045" Dual shield is the upper limit of what a 250 amp MIG can handle.
With a heavier gun it can run it more effectively and without melting
as many tips and gas cups.

Personally I detest the M25 gun as it falls apart from heavy use.
All 3 of the 250X's we had at South Seattle started with M25s and they
all fell apart.
I replaced them with Tregaskis 400 Toughguns (who also make the M25 for
Miller), and was very happy.

That is what I have on my Betamig 250

At school I scored a 400 amp Miller Roughneck gun, from eBay, for our
Millermatic 300.
Another great gun.
