[QUOTE=".30US, post: 2679883, member: 19108"] I have a .25x45 in an AR, but haven't hunted with it, yet. Out of a 20" AR, with the gas shut off, I averaged 2,977fps with factory ammo with the 87gr Speer Hot-Cor and a Magnetospeed at the muzzle (41.5fps S-D). It's respectable, but I think the .25-223 wildcat's design is a little better; it shortens the brass a little more for longer, heavier bullets. If you're doing a bolt action, you'll probably end up duplicating .250 Savage, but with something requiring a reamer almost no one has. [/QUOTE]
