"finally got out to the ranch and set up for the 25-45 sharps. couldn't find A2200, so I used LT32, first group on the right, right next to it was LT32 24.5, upper left was Varget 24.5, next out will be with LT32 w/24.0 these were the first nine shots down the tube

Are you using 223 brass and necking it up? What bullet are you running?

forgot that info, yes to the brass and necking it up, 87gr Sierra spitzer

I have thought about offering this caliber. Is there a shortage of ammo suppliers for this round, do you think? It seems easy to load for.

I am really excited about it, I don't think ammo will be a problem, the only draw back with this, is on an AR platform, you are limited to length of bullet seating due to mag.

The 87 gr Sierra is a good 25 caliber bullet, it along with the 90gr Sierra HP are about the only two bullets that always seem to shoot well for me in 257's and 25-06. In the AR platform I run a 25 DTi which is the 6.8 SPC necked down with a 30 degree shoulder. Runs the 90gr Sierra 3000fps from 18 inch barrel.


Chad I would think the 6x45mm would be a lot more lucrative as I would guess for every 25-45mm there are probably 100 6x45's seeing action. Way more bullet selection and about as easy as it gets to load.

I built a custom .25-223 AR several years ago. It's a .223 case shortened 2 MM and necked up to .257. Shoots very well with H335 and Hornady 87 gr spire points or 90 Gr Sierra Game Kings.

will try the H335, am also going to try a 75gr hp bullet
