Anyone shooting .25-45 Sharps?

I looked at it just a little when I was planning AR builds but never jumped. Is there any reason to look at it in a non-AR platform?

Primary use would be just having fun on the range out to 100m or so in a single shot pistol, carbine or possibly a bolt action.

I think that would be a fun little round

Yea, I have one. Mine has been flawless in function and seems to be very high quality. I am no expert on the AR platform so cannot give any detailed info on that aspect.. Ammo is simple to form, just run a .223 case into the form die and then load and shoot. Recoil seems about the same as the .223. Accurate enough for my purposes which is Jack Rabbit hunting.
I have not shot it enough to form much of an opinion yet but I like it so far.

38WCF, if not an AR what are you using?

I have one, and have been using it for the last year on deer and hogs. No complaints.

Bolt gun or AR?

250 Savage-ish. Interesting

18" AR, it provides ballistics very similar to my 6.5 Grendel, with similar bullet weights.
I shoot 100gr SP and 117gr RN, 2500fps and z2300fps. I wouldn't call it 250 Savage equal, but it is a very capable round and easy to load and find brass for.

Sorry not a clear answer. Mine is an AR I purchased from Shiloh. I am just not an expert on that platform. I can tell you it is a quality piece and goes bang when I pull the trigger. The weather has been two cold to get out and check it for accuracy but i have nailed a couple of Jackrabbits with it at about 80-100 yards.
