Hi @Barefoot I am also a 6x45 fan. What's your 6x45 load for the 70gn?

@243wssm I'm currently using 28.5gn BLC2, 70gr Targex, total length 2.260" as its the standard mag length in the Zastava.
2900fps average. The Targex are all holding hands at 100m.
Looking at having another try with the sierra 85gr which used to be one of my two gotos for the .243 but there were quite slow due to mag and projectile length.

Hi @Barefoot, still using the 70gr in 6x45? I've just picked up a 6x45 barrel, now on the Savage, about to work up some useful loads. I happen to have the 70gr Targex in the drawer. What are/were you using them on, happy with them? Main reason I've swapped out the 223 barrel is that I've acquired a 6mm Lyman mold, so having been casting and powder coating some 90gn bullets for subsonic and reduced velocity loads, but also want something to use at full load.

To be honest I haven't even fires the 6x45 for 18months, been playing Targex projectiles in a 22/250 instead.
The 70gr was being used on goats and a few fallow and were doing the job. The last batch I loaded for the rifle were 75gr Sierra though. Performance was much the same so not really sure why I changed now.
