We teamed up with Guns & Ammo to put the 25-45 cartridge to the test and determine whether it's a contender for the title of the best hunting cartridge for the AR platform. Here is what they had to say:

The .25-45 Sharps was designed to increase the terminal ballistics of the AR, especially for hunting. It’s elegant in its simplicity, geometry, and effectiveness.
