My 25x45 AR

[KAG]

I have been in the process of switching optics on all AR platforms as I just feel they are over glassed and to use the 2 eye open shooting method. Have started buying and mounting 1-4x24 glass on them and so far they are working well for the type of hunting I do.

Of course as you do this you look at and evaluate different models and see which one works for you. Should be getting the next one a Burris MTAC-30 1-4x24. Most of my shooting is under 150m.

You are describing exactly what has happened with the 300/221 300 whisper /300blk /300wtf.

it is finally standardized& becoming widely available.

Gents,

Cartridges are considered "Wildcats" when they are not a normal factory loading.

Some cartridges that were originally "wildcats" have been legitimized and adopted as factory loadings. Two excellent primary examples would be the 22-250 Remington and the .25/06 Remington. Both started their careers years ago and were adopted by Remington.

There is a two volume set called "Wildcat Cartridges" by Wolfe. I consider it a must for an serious rifle cranks professional library. You'll be amazed at the number and oddity of some wildcats.

Has anybody checked into submitting this cartridge to SAMI for standardization?

Maybe RSilvers could walk us through that process.
