    Pleased to hear those 85 hpbt's work, they shoot well in mine but not actually shot any animals yet.

    It is the old dunger dirty old Zastava M85 on page 7 of this thread that I threw together and gave away..
    Bunged on a stainless barrel like lipstick on a pig and @Mikey-p fell in love with it.

    OK - now now guys. The oldest rule with scrapping kids - distraction, so a question . . . .

    If one has a Remmy 700 action with a 223 bolt-face, is there enough of a gain in ballistics to go 6mm ARC over 6x45??

    I believe the 6MM arc is 6 PPC case size, essentially a 6PPC with a faster twist,
    thus your .223 bolt face, will need to be opened up,
    I have a Sako 6PPC and coopers in 6x47 Remington (.222 mag) and 6x45, they are all with in a 50-100fps of each other, better brass for the 6PPC and 6x45 so i can push them harder,
    my single shot cooper 6x47 Remington is more accurate than the other two, and lighter, with faster speeds, with 75gr weight (50fps)but only 1-14 twist, (3030)fps, my 6x45 is 3000fps, the Sako A1 sporter in 6PPC, is (3000fps) best accuracy was slight slower, 3113fps was starting to get pretty hot, Sako brass,
    All these are 29-30grain case capacity. 6x45 20" barrel the other two are 22"
    A 6mm-204 or 6 TCU will give more slightly more speed, at the cost of custom dies and perhaps feed issues with the sharp shoulder, I dont think there is enough gain for the extra costs.
    I recommend going, with the one that fits your bolt face, and has the most aviable components. (brass)

    Well after 14 years away from this little sweetheart of a cartridge, I’m about to fall in love again.

    Just bought a BSA Hunter converted to 6x45 from a good mate and mentor of mine. It is the last of four that he has built for himself over the years. Excited to be part of the ‘club’ again.

    Will post photos when I get my hands on her.

    I've got a CZ 527 American in 6.5 Grendel, not overly impressed with this cartridge/or this CZ 527, was intending to chop rifle back to 18" for a bush rifle, now i am going to sell it, as have bought a used Barret fieldcraft, much better to carry,

    Oh dear, poor build quality on that particular example? And here was me wanting to get another 527 after i have completely fallen in love with your old 17 Hornet.

    This ones a bit rougher in the bolt ramps, I've polished it up, better now, more a comment, against not seeing any advantage, in the 6.5 Grendel, I've got several 6.5's, plus the sticky down mag, is a pain in the ass, to carry in your hand all day, I tried it and prefer the Sako 6PPC, cooper 6x47 and 6.5x54 mannlicher as carry rifle's,
