Thread: 6x45 Rem barrel

Cheers mate.
There is some truth to that theory. SOME varmint and target bullets act like hunting bullets at lower velocities but that depends a lot on range and the bullet.
The 6x47 for example at 3000fps is not actually that slow. I would stay away from the lighter jacketed bullets such as 70gr blitzking, 70gr and 80gr Sierra varminters for anything heavier than goats and stay away from that shoulder bone. The 75gr and 85gr Sierra varminter had have heavier jackets designed for the bigger case .243s at 3800 to 4000fps so these are the ones you want in the 6x45 for deer.
