Finally got to do some load development for the new 6x45. Nothing ground breaking, but happy with the results given most of the components were bits and bobs that I had lying around.

Couldn’t get any more powder in the case, this charge was heavily compressed. I think the sako brass has a low internal volume compared to other makes of brass.
What I was most happy with though, was the new fibreglass stock that I have just finished for it. These old BSA stocks all tend to break through the grip, and as I’d wanted to make a stock for some time, now was the time. Many thanks to @takbok for all the advice! The stock ended up 260gm lighter than the original too, so that was a bonus.
