Thread: 6x45 Rem barrel

@Mathias bloody hell that looks like a load for rampaging rodents up close 😁😂

It has that 416 Rigby look :-)

Ive got small supply of its big brother....170grn in .277 and yes they hit HARD.

@Micky Duck they stabilise ok in normal twist barrels then?

also they being fat...arent that long,which I believe is the issue with heavies...the 160grn lapua magas were the same.

hell yes.....some very respectable groups....I believe it helps MY rifle as its got a long jump to throat....these pills must put it close to rifling or maybe just being long and soft they enguage rifling better...WARNING you will probably have to unscrew seating die itself as the seating stem may not go high enough....I screw stem in a couple of threads worth then screw die itself down on a loaded round untill handle jiggles then call it good.

More down time has me tinkering again.. I got thinking.. I run a 223 rem with a 69gr TMK at 3100fps, a .22 TCM with a 40gr Vmax at 3100 fps, a 6x45 with a 75gr Sierra HP at 3000fps, what might a 6mm TCM run with a 55gr Nosler BT?



Could this little micro 6mm be a 300yd medium game cartridge with a 16-18" barrel if I could get 2800-3000fps from it with that reasonably solid Nosler BT, a sneeze weight of Alliant 300MP and a small pistol primer?

My 6x47 rem will run a 55 gr at 3500 fps, don't think there is much difference, in case capacity between the 6x47 Remington and 6TCU. i had better accuracy with the 58gr v-max and 50fps slower.

Yip I was pondering the tiny 6mm TCM not the 6mm TCU though

Go on... you know you wanna!

As Nike say... “Just do it!”

223s are girly til theyve had to the op to 6x45 or 6TCU via Doc Wingman 😎

I just ordered a new custom 6x45 reamer today with zero free bore so it should shoot a wider range of bullets better with less jump.

When do you think that might be making it to these shores? Asking for a friend who may have had a barrel turn up on the courier this afternoon

You should have AI'ed it. That would have been sexier :-)

Still can I have that one too ��
