Thread: 6x45 Rem barrel

Spent the evening necking up some .223 Lapua match brass to 6mm and have dropped in a full case of H4895
Behind some 70gr Sierra Blitzkings and some 70gr Nosler Varmageddon bullets to test on paper.
Loaded to magazine length both of these bullets compress the 27gr load quite a bit so not ideal but hey ya never know unless you try.





I can already see that my load for this rifle will be very influenced by the mag OAL and having to jump bullets quite a way to the lands as a result.
If these loads dont impress me Ill be trying some 75gr Sierra hollow points which should be able to be seated out a bit further and the more rounded ogive should put me closer to the lands by default.
I will have to run some ladder tests with the BM8208 powder too as I really dont like the compressed loads.
