I have to say that I'm more than pleased with the performance of this round. I took two of these 25/45 Sharps builds to our youth camp and everyone was impressed. They are very accurate and the recoil is a lot less than I thought it would be. And with a lot of children shooting, recoil really is an issue. I did manage to check velocities and they are somewhat lower than advertised specs but I think the advertised specs are what the 25/45 is capable of, not what they are loaded to. It's been my experience that most manufacturers of ammunition will list the capabilities of the specific cartridge but rarely load them to those specs dues to liability. With so many people ready to file law suites at the drop of a hat, manufacturers have to be very careful that they don't cause someones firearm to fail due to max loads. That's why you never see the numbers that are listed when you shoot the ammunition. It's called being smart. And in my book Sharps is being very smart in that area. All that being said, I think that SRC has done a great job with the 25/45 Sharps. I have several AR's with their XPB Reliabolt with the DLC and of course their Barrels and I love them. These AR's are very accurate and the Sharps 87 Grain Hot-Cor Cartridge has performed very very well. I also reload so I plan on experimenting with my loads but I am just as happy to stick with the factory loads. We went through 3,640 rounds at youth camp and we had a blast. "Quite literally" All with factory ammo and not a single misfire or feed problem. It's a good thing I ran out of ammo otherwise I'd still be up there. " Now I need to get more ammo for our Thanksgiving youth shooting event. We will go through just as much ammo as we did at camp". The only issues I had were cycling issues but once I got the adjustable Gas Blocks tuned all that went away. Sharps did a great job making the 25/45 and I am a fan forever. Sorry my review is so long but I feel that if I'm going to do the review I want it to be complete and accurate. Lastly, it is really nice that Sharps filled in that gap we had for using the AR-15 line to hunt game with. Thank you SRC. Now if you could just start your own line of accessories.
