Thread: 6x45 Rem barrel

More success with the 6x45 a couple of nights ago. Took this yearling stag at about 150yds with a 70gr Nosler ballistic tip launched at 2950fps. To say I’m stoked with the bullet performance would be a bit of an understatement…. Went in tight behind the left leg, and out 3 ribs from the end of the rib cage on the other side. Great expansion and internal damage, yet still tough enough to get all the way through. That tapered jacket and thick base certainly does the trick at 6x45 velocity. So good in fact, this is the only bullet I will hunt with from now on!

Also came up with the best consistent load so far, using AR2219. Gave it a go after a mate mentioned that he was getting great velocity and accuracy in his 6x45 with the 75gr vmax.

18” barrel:
70gr Nosler
24.6gr AR2219
Win case, federal 205m
2900 fps, and has the headroom for a bit more pressure.
