Thread: 6x45 Rem barrel

@takbok I could see how this cartridge would be about perfect for Roe deer and Fellow.
I briefly looked at the barnes mono TTSX but its 80gr and very long so I dont like my chances in my 1-14" twist.
Will test a few of the heavier bullets when I get a moment to chamber and fit up my other 1-10" twist barrel.
I might even go a bit custom on that barrel and use a .223 AI reamer and the 6x45 reamer to cut something close to a 6mm TCU chamber.
The straighter walls and 40 deg shoulder is apparently good for another 150-200fps depending on barrel length.
Im just not sure its worth all the case fire forming drama when this humble old 6x45 case is as easy to make as passing a .223 Rem cartridge through the 6x45 sizing die. It may also introduce feeding issues from a magazine.
