survivalshop Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 More research , nice . Too many interesting wild cats out there now or is it because they are starting to use them on an AR platform ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTrooper Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 the problem is there are better wild cats out there but they don't get popular because they don't have the support of a company that leads to support of the general shooting public, along with availability.

98Z5V Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 ^^^ True - biggest thing for me is I don't have to get a custom-manufactured barrel, and I don't have to modify a die set, with reforming/reloading dies already available. Oh, and I don't have to do anything to the brass, besides neck it up - unlike the process for 300BLK that I have to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTrooper Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 yeah, 300BLK I think is going to basically be for subsonic ammo in my eyes, where it excels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee dies , 223 brass , ar15 mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampGunnr Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I have a full Seekins upper/lower build with a SRC 25/45 barrel. I built it way back about 3 years ago, right after SHOT where I first found it. I have back-burnered it, mainly because I lost interest in it and no one else even heard of it. I did kill 2 pigs with it, though.My avatar picture is me with the 25/45 and one of the pigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 All I need now is the barrel, DWilson 5.56 BCG, MechArmor charging handle, and the optic. Shiit, it's almost done already! The lower was FREE. I'll get to that story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Got the barrel and the RCBS 3-die set ordered today. My gun pusher is feeling sorry for me, I can tell. My price on the barrel is $185 and the die set will set me back $67. That's a pretty damn good deal with regular price on the barrel being $230 and the dies going for $87.

survivalshop Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 This writer has an opinion of this Cartridge. I actually read this quite a while ago , I wasn't going to add it to this Thread , but why not . http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/06/26/25-45-sharps-worst-new-ar-round/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Getting closer - these beasts are what I will go with most of the time. Sierra GameKing 90gr BTHP and RL-7. I cannot wait to put one of these in a coyote. Dies and barrel should be in next week. Edited April 16, 2017 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTrooper Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I'm sure they will work wonders for coyotes... but still wondering how it will do with deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a report vs. whitetail http://ar15hunter.com/forum/index.php?/topic/23-25-45-sharps/ There are many more testimonials on www.quarterbore.net. It's quite the deer cartridge, man. http://www.quarterbore.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9418 Edited April 17, 2017 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 The 25-45 Sharps at 800 yards... Not a typo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Damn , that's the best review I have seen or read , Factory ammo , from what it looked . Impressive . Too bad we couldn't see the sight in targets at those ranges . Damn it 98 , now I have to have one & have made my mind up & its still going to be a 20" BBL. Edit , he doesn't need to talk me into a JP hand Guard , I have two . Edited April 17, 2017 by survivalshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I found that last night and was shocked - I didn't think you'd be able to dial up the mil drop for 800, and hit with this cartridge. Especially the 87gr factory ammo. I was already committed - my barrel and dies should be here anytime now. SS, welcome to the family, brother!
