Great video. Lots of good info on bullets. I have taken deer now with 2 of the ones you showed. First with 85 grain Noslers. Double lung, broadside at 40 yds. It did what ballistic tips were meant to do and completely exploded. No exit. Lungs as well. Second was Barnes 80 gr tipped copper. That deer was shot pretty much straight on. Bullet went through all the fat and meat of brisket, lungs, stopped just inside hide after traveling a good 20 inches or more. Didn't go very many steps. Bullet was mushroomed out as pretty as picture.
Good info!! I have some Solid coppers but they have been lack luster killers fir me. Never lost a critter, but shots that shoulda dropped them didnt. Never had a bang flop with one.
Outstanding. You have such a historical and practical knowledge. That's almost impossible to find. I've been so fortunate to find you, and the wild bunch here, to learn from and to just enjoy the information I'd never ever know on my own. The younger ones I hope are passing this down to their kids otherwise, all that will be left is factory. It'll be "what will do" rather than what is the best you can do. Just wanted to let you know.
Try Ram Tac powder and don't be afraid to compress it. I'm getting 2950 fps with 80 grain ttsx and 27.5 grains of Tac. 27 grains and 100 grain TSX gives me 2750 fps and 110 grain FTX. 117 grain interlock and 26.5 grains gives me 2650 fps and 26 grains pushes the Speer 120 grain at 2475 fps. All loads are compressed but none have preassure signs. I'm shooting a 24" barrel.
Great information on seating correctly & what works best for different uses. Dad had a 700 in 25/06 & loved shooting it. The 25/35 was a good cartridge but it's little brother 25/20 lacked power even though it has taken quite a few deer. Factory ammo for either is pathetic price wise now. Would love to see the 25/45 in a good single shot. Thanks for another good video.

Hello CW. Outstanding tutorial of bullets for the 25/45 Sharps. wish more companies would make barrels for the M$R platform. The ARC and the Grendel have the Sharps bracketed pretty well though.
We can talk powders next video. The two I have loaded for where quite different. I have not attempted cast in this gun. If I end up with a bolt version as planned down the road I will absolutely persue a good mold.
Interesting caliber, but I'd rather have a .243. And there are several companies that make uppers and complete (ar) rifles in .243 if that's your thing. I'd still like to add a .25-45 to the collection though...
You can't get 243 Winchester in an AR 15. You have to go to an AR 10 which is much bigger and heavier. I was originally looking at 6mm/223 wildcat. Midway used to sell it in an Anderson upper but they have discontinued it. I wanted something to use all this 5.56 brass on. I have a 243 and 1 260 and they are great for longer ranges but at 100 yards and in they are very destructive. 25-45 and 6mm/223 are both great medium range rounds. 300 yards and in.
@@BuckeyeBallistics the 25-45 Sharps is the balistic twin of the 6.5 Grendel up to 120 grain bullets. I haven't tried stuffing 130 grain bullets in the 25-45, 120s are about its max with Ram Tac powder. The advantage of the 25-45 is its the same bolt as 5.56 not the greatly weakened Grendel and 7.62x39 bolts. I have a Grendel but couldn't find ammo at the time. I'm starting to see it now but it is expensive. 5.56 brass is cheap and easy to find. The step up to 25-45 is easy and doesn't require any special dies. Just run the 5.56 brass through the Lee 25-45 resizing dies and your done.
Interesting stuff CW. This kinda stuff still goes a little over my head, but on the off chance one of these caliber rifles finds its way into my hands...😁
Morning Craig! I found H335 tough ta beat. I searched for a while till I found aa2200 and its a winner in this cartridge. Benchmark and AR Comp also do pretty well. But ta buy one, H335 has been good to me here.
Thanks Cw. I have both H335 and A2200. I reached out to sharpes about using this bullet in my 16 inch Mid-Length Hbar purchased through them with no reply. I have all that’s needed to start these loads but I’m a little on my power range due to the fact these bullets are so long for the small neck. I enjoy my ftx 30/30 bullets and I’m in more of a wooded area so my shots are no more than 200 yards. I appreciate your knowledge and professionalism! Anything you could share about these bullets in my rifle would me much appreciated.
@@craigv4193 you want to talk with Mike Blank of MRshootters supply tell him CW sent ya. He is designer of the 25/45 and pulled away from Sharps. He is your man! Good guy too!
Opps I put power range on the message instead of powder range. Sorry! If you could share a powder range with those powders that would be awesome. Thank you.
Please check links in description for more information!!
Good evening CW 👍👍🇺🇸🤠

Great topic very interesting stuff 👍 thanks CW
Thanks man!!

Thanks Chris!! 🤘🏼💪🏼🤟🏽👍🏼
Enjoyed the information 👍🍻 I hear you on the velocity with the solid copper too!
🤟🏽🤟🏽🇺🇸😜♥️
Sweeet little cal. Them noslers look awesome
🇺🇸👍🏼💪🏼🤘🏼😜
A Good informative video.
Thanks 😁
👍🏼♥️👍🏼♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Iv never used an ftx bullet
They are like a Ballistic tip in that they expand easy and usually well under that 1800 thrash hold so many cup n core bullets need.
Good info cw 👍👍. Made to the end.
💪🏼🙏💪🏼🙏🇺🇸😜
🇺🇸Thanks for information and video.
Most welcome Dwayne!! 🤘🏼💪🏼🙏🇺🇸♥️🤟🏽
I finally built a bolt gun in 25-45 results are great. 87 gr TNT 2850 fps .5 moa OAL is way more than AR mag limits
That sounds heavenly!! Video?
Bunch of good info. I just got some ttsx 338 bullets. Making me wonder if they’ll expand.
They will! They are a very good proven bullet. The initial expansion Threshold is just higher.
good stuff CW !!!
♥️♥️👍🏼Thanks man!! 👍🏼🤘🏼🇺🇸💪🏼
3000fps is cookin in that case.... makes me wanna drop bullet weight and see how fast I can make my 6x45 go
It aughta come close!!! I used to load the 85g Partition on deer.
Really like the small calibers these days.
This is a good one Mike.
Mike i agre light on recoil long place shot well
