[QUOTE="Thebear_78, post: 1131690, member: 1545"] My concern is more the fact that most 25 caliber bullets are intended for really high velocity cartridges. Leading me to believe that they won’t be as effective at lower than designed speeds. I had a 6x45 and it was a good cartridge but still run into the problem of bullets designed for higher speeds and needing to play with varmint style bullets to get the terminal effect I was looking for. I have been playing with the 277 Wolverine for a while now. Similar speeds as the 6x45 or 25x45 but the bullets are designed aroudn these lower velocities. There are several realy good bullet designed for the 6.8 SPC that are tailer made for running at atainable ar15 speeds. 90gr nosler bonded and 90gr accubond @ 2700fps, 85gr Barnes @ 2750fps. All decent bullets with good terminal performace and minimal recoil. Whats not to like?
