Anyone else seen the new .25-45 Sharps cartridge from SRC Arms?



It's basically the 223 case necked up to .257 caliber so it will reliably feed from any current .223/5.56 magazine. What's really interesting though is that this cartridge basically mimic's the old Savage 250-3000 ballistics as they claim to be pushing 87-grain bullets to 3,000fps. It's not something I think will take off in the mainstream bolt-gun circles, but I think it's a perfect cost-effective alternative to an AR-10 in .243 Win. as rather than spending $1,500-2,000 on said AR-10 you could just buy a $400-600 upper assembly for your standard AR-15. It could also be an interesting rebarrel option for a Savage Model 25.

I'd also like to see some velocity/trajectory data with the more popular 100gr .25cal hunting bullets (Nosler Partition or Ballistic Tip Hunting, Sierra GameKing, Swift Scirraco II, etc.).
