Thread: 6x45 'carbonlight'

Wow Takbok, nice Roe Buck, looks heavy with good shape, taken in the cut over to !

Stock looks awesome, I remember watching you make it up in lock down, heck make some stocks & guide a few hunts on Roe like that, it will help pay some bills lol !

Oh I see GSC bullets to, a few guys in SA like them, have you used them much on Deer ?

Thanks @Scout yes I only use GS Custom bullets for hunting. I've maybe shot 70 deer (Roe, Sika, handful of Reds) with them now and find them really good. The carcass damage can be a bit much with high velocities at the short ranges (up to 150m) that I generally shoot at. They always go right through and the deer don't go far if I do my bit.

The 62gr GS HV gets about 3350fps of the 6x45 (20.5", 1:8" twist) with 25.5gr Reloader 7 and a CCI450 primer.

I use 110gr GS HV's out of the .270 at about 3400 fps loaded with 63gr Ramshot Hunter and Federal 215 primer.
