From my uncle who was a culler : "I shot probably four thousand with a 222. We used Norma 55 grain handloads. All other projectiles were too soft. Shot hard in behind the front leg into the lungs and...

Your 6x45 with a suppressor will gain both velocity and accuracy. I use a Sonic 35, I can remove baffles for the 6x45, and add them for the 243AI, so it isn't too heavy on the light 6x45. Give...

Defo. Whilst the bush thing probably doesn't have any negative impacts if done properly, clearly something is negatively impacting the groups so that's got to be near the top of the list of likely...

I still dont think tweaking the load will make this a varmint rifle - it’ll just log nick more and more range time. I bet if you get a new truflite cut to 6x45 the first components you try will...

My play with GRT didn't want to match up either. I ran the OBT calibration which changes burn rate or something to make predicted match actual and that made things fit a lot better, but also reckoned...

Let me know if you need something to try, nothing more frustrating than fighting with a rifle that should shoot but won't. Think I have a few 95gr FB/HP moly coated that I was playing with & can...

Just had a quick look at this & was wondering if you have a barrel that just doesn't like boattail bullets much? Have seen some barrels that just dont like them but will shoot flatbase fine. Just a...

Gidday - I took a quick look and I can't get GRT to closely correlate with your supplied data, it'll be something I'm doing wrong - its not the right time of day for me to be doing this sort of...

Hmmm - I've got two rifles currently with bushed barrels and they both shoot very nicely, I recall another one since passed to someone else with a bush and it was fine too. Done with care I don't...

It ought to be comparable to the 222. Try shooting them alternately side by side in the same session and see if theyre really different. I agree with you 6x45 is a in its heart a small animal...

Have 2 BSA Hunters, both rebarrelled in .222 and .223, shoot sub 1" and I'm not a fussy handloader.
