Section 8: Handguns Subject: .50 Beowulf AR pistol Msg# 1125100

It's getting to be a crowded world for AR cartridges in the .243--.257--.264 caliber realm. Unless I was a dedicated handloader I don't think I'd go to the bank on the unpopular cartridges when it came to the AR. I very much was a fan of the .30 Remington AR cartridge when it appeared, but Remington, in their utter lack of foresight, marketed that cartridge as a hunting round, appealing to almost no one, when it would have been an awesome defensive cartridge. Remington ARs died, Remington died of coure, and the .30 AR died with them. Most people have never heard of it, like (if not worse than), the .25-45 Sharps.
You choose your defensive rounds carefully. OTOH if you plan to hunt with it, that may be another story, but the political scene being what it is, guns, cartridges, and even indeed shooters are all at risk these days, |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Yeah Sharps makes it but that is it. Essentially a .223 case necked up to .25 caliber with an 87 grain bullet. |
