I am getting out of the .257 caliber for hunting. Not that I do not like it, but I am more focused on the 6.5s and I have too much stuff. For those interested, the 25-45 Sharps is a .223 necked up to a 25 caliber. The advantage is the ability to use a heavier bullet and the larger frontal diameter than the .223. This caliber is very cheap to shoot since you are shooting .223 brass. This is also a great caliber for youth shooters. My dad shot his biggest buck with this caliber (with the 80 grain TTSX load provided).
Selling a Sharps 25-45 Upper - Sharps 18" Precision Light Profile barrel, Upper receiver, Toolcraft Nickel Boron BCG, Ballistic Advantage Atlas One Handguard, Monstrum Tactical Spectre 1-10X28 LPVO (Illuminated)
Reloading - RCBS dies (including neck die), Lee crimp die, Wilson size gauge, 92 Barnes 80 grain TTSX bullets.
$500 OBO (Cost list below to show original cost)
The upper itself has only been shot for load development and that went quickly. So, less than 50 rounds through the barrel. I am also adding the load data that I found to be most accurate with sub-MOA results. Super accurate round.
