25-45 sharps load data Help with 117gr Hornady Round nose

[CWLongshot]

I have switched to the 110 FTX for this hunting season.

Couple months back Midway clearance this bullet and I bought a few boxes.

Its shooting dead nutz for me with AA2200 powder @ 2650 fps and I am happy with it.

Very consistent bullet.

CW, Thanks for the info, that's the money. 2650 fps!? I just ran a rough version of your load through JBM ballistics and this cartridge really does seem to be the holy grail for ARs. I've had a hidden objective to find a cost effective AR build that can reliably deliver 1000+ ft lbs for medium size game - at range. Your load should be able to deliver really close to 1000 ft lbs at 300 yards. I'm willing to target shoot beyond 300 yards but I prefer to keep the hunting shots to 300 or less. This FTX load looks to be be able to meet my reqs.
I may have missed it but what barrel/twist are you using to stabilize the 110 gr pills?

Hello, I know this is an old subject but if you are still on this site would you mind terribly sharing your load data for the 25/45 with the 110 grain FTX. I have 9 AR-15's in the Sharps 25/45 and I love them. I just wish there was more load data available for it. I use the 325 grain FTX in my 45/70 Marlin 1895SDG and they are a wonderful performer. I'm hoping to use them in my Sharps rifles. Thank you for your time.

I've shot 90's and 117's in mine with AA 2200 and RL 17. Max on my 117's with 2200 was 23.0 at 2402 and with the RL 7 at 22.0 at 2363. Neither showed pressures signs in my AR. Mine were in an 18" tube and I would consider these safe for the 110;'s.

I shot some 90's with 2200 at 25.0 grains and 2773. 87's across the board were 2200 and AA 2230 at 25.0 with no issues.

Personally I feel the 87's and 90'd are about as heavy as I would want to use. The117's were shot as a courtesy for a fellow in England that wondered how they do and his components were rare as hens teeth over there.
