Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Loading Info 25-45 Sharps

Hello my 1st post on this thread, looking for loading info on the 25-45 sharps Whats the best powder ect, mostly intrested in useing the 87 grain Hot core Speer! Pretty much all of my reloading has been done with Old or Antique rifles so new to this game. The dies I bought said they had loads included, but was pring to loading data at this time!

Shooting this out of a AR15 or AR10?

AR 15 Complete Sharps upper I got off here! fig. some of you fellows would know what they like Best!

I shoot Xterminator with 87 Speers.

In my rifle the Xterminator and an 87 Speer hot cor goes 2800 FPS.

These two deer were shot at 160 yards and the holes you see are the entrance sides and both bullets exited.

The first one was broadside and barely twitched after the shot. The second was quartering away and walked about 20 feet before falling the bullet exiting along side the neck.

Nice, Thanks!

Is that it fellows? guess not many here are shooting the 25-45 sharps, I hit the range with some of the
Sharps ammo, liked it but my scope was not working to well have to get another one!

I have started reloading 25-45 Sharps - my first loads were using X-Terminator with Speer Hot-Cor 87 gr bullets.
Has anybody loaded 25-45 with Speer TNT HP 87gr bullets? They are not listed in the short load sheet available from SRC, but look like a good varmint bullet.
my interest is to get better accuracy than the Hot-Cor SPs and I will be using on varmints - mostly coyotes.

I have picked up a can of X-Terminator, dies Brass & speer 87gr Hot core bullets Just need to sit down and roll a few!
