Found a good load for my 6x45 today. 18” barrel 1-10 twist.

70gr Ballistic Tip
BM8208
Winchester case
RWS primer.

I’ve settled on 26.3gr, as a max useable to keep case life ok. No need to push it, velocity is good. Book max is 27gr, and very very hot in my rifle. At 26.8gr I was getting 2950fps but stiff extraction and very flat primers.

Thats interesting as I use 8208XBR exclusively in my 6.5TCU Rifle, so not quite a 6x45 but I use 26gns of 8208 and 123 ELD-Ms or SSTs or lately 130gn RDFs
Velocity is 2550 and thing shoots real good out to about 700m, past that it loses its lunch a bit.
Might try a 6x45 next time or 6TCU if I can find a reamer maybe
