Thread: 6x45 Rem barrel

Are the potential choices based off using reamers you already have? I.e. the Grendel series? 22 Grendel looks useful especially with a 1/8 twist.

Have you done much more with the Dasher? I saw a bit of information about that one on another thread. Have you done an in-depth write up on that experiment at all?

I'm also fascinated by this 6x45 as well - seems like a brilliant wee cartridge. Read a lot about it a couple of years ago before I actually got shooting again. Definitely want to have one once I've got all the other kit sorted that one needs when starting out hunting and shooting again from scratch!

Yes based around chamber and neck/throat reamers I have.. not worth importing new one off reamers for these kind of fun experiments.

I was leaning toward the .22 Grendel using fire formed .220 Russian brass to save neck turning but after building this 6x45 for myself I think it might be better to do a second one.. it will be much easier for the majority of potential buyers to load for too not to mention it will be a continuation of this thread for those interested.

I never got around to a write up on the 6mm Dasher barrel did I? Its a sweet little over achiever for sure. Settled on a load with the 95gr Nosler Balistic tip at 3200fps. It feeds great from the Desert Tech SRS mag but doesn't eject well due to the short case. I need to modify a heavier ejector spring for it but swapped the barrel out with the Creedmoor one for a recent culling job and have yet to get back to sorting the Dasher.
