Just did a test fire of a few rounds with my latest 6x45mm creation. Made up from a Sako A1, used Bartlein 6mm 1:8 2B barrel at 20", DPT and Swaro 3-9x40 4A. Desert Guns NZ did the work for me, really happy with Marks skill again.
Wasn't sure how the 1:8 would go with the lighter 75gr loads, nothing to worry about there! The 85gr HPBT Sierra shot equally as well, though I cocked up a good group at the end. I'm not a good paper shooter.
75gr HP Sierra's & H335 were most happy at 2980fps average, 85gr HPBT's & CFE223 at 2796fps average. ES on both were nothing flash and I should be able to lower them with better case prep and seating.
