I had 2 one shot kills last winter with the x39 using wolf hp's. One was just beyond 100yds., one closer.

6.8


If .223 was such a show stopper none of these other calibers would exist. The reason they do exist is .223 left a little to be desired... when someone got past shooting Prairie Dogs.

The 223 will easily kill anything in North America.

It’s just hard to beat a 120gr accubond at 6.8 velocities, for stuff to 300 in an AR15 platform. If you want to hunt 20-24” barrels and shoot targets past 350-400, the Grendel will be easier. If you just want to tote a hunting weight AR and kill stuff, either would work, but the 6.8 is made for it.

Anyone have any experience with the 6x45 or the 25x45 Sharps?

Just a little......they’re both good and tote more energy than a 5.56, with the 25 being more efficient, but having fewer bullets suitable.....but still likely plenty. Neither is going to be as effective (on deer/hog sized stuff) as the 6.5/6.8, due to case. Both will shoot flatter to 300, from what I recall. Both are tack drivers on accuracy and mild on recoil, and are fun at the range in bolt guns...which is all I’ve played with, for a bit.....both on others’ rigs.
