    Default 25-45 Sharps

    Is anyone else sporting this caliber? I built one as a starter hunting rifle, but it shoots so well I'm considering trying my highest magnification scope on it and see how she does at long range (with the right bullet).

    I am sorry. I moved it.

    I was not aware of any AR-15s chambered in 25-20 Sharps.

    Good point.

    My eyes saw 25-45 and my fingers didn't.

    ... guess it makes about as much sense as the 25 Grendel reamer that just arrived ?

    Not questioning anyone in particular, just confused.

    Me too. Different reason though. What the heck is a 25-45? I assume it's an old black powder cartridge with a .25 caliber bullet and 45 grains of black powder, but I've never heard of it before.

    The name is deceiving, But I guess they went that route, due to it being made by Sharps.

    Think .25"x45mm.

    It's a .223 based .25 caliber. Made by Sharps Rifle Co.
    87gr pill. Uses standard ar components, other than barrel.

    I came across this a year or so ago, while researching their Relia Bolt. I think it was just after SHOT 2014.
