One not on the list yet that debuted at Shot Show is 25-45 Sharps or.25-223, not sure of the official name. A .223 case with a wider neck to hold a heavier load bullet. New barrel is all that is needed to convert over since cartridge is the same.

No joke –– people come up with new cartridges to fit every week it seems .          I didn't see the .30 RAR or the .300 WSSM on there though.   The .30 RAR seemed like a good deal, i just wonder why it hasn't taken off yet,
