My NF SHV 4-14 Mil R "good scope" just couldn't find any love for it and sent it down the road... So yesterday upon my Tikka/Bravo combo I peeled of another good scope to mount the new to me Maven RS1.2 SHR-Mil and can see with only a cursory finger blasting session and static tracking test that...
First thing to do with ANY chamber and given lot of brass is to establish where you are at with head space control. That will determine your next move, with the bolt stripped down it is very easy to FEEL whether the brass has resistance against the bolt face or not. If it does that's good. If it...
Should add pics! though not 6x45 obviously. This is my 264 Creed'. Strip the bolt striker assembly "for a more deft feel" and sharpie mark a bullet...

That's about it, after the initial bore cleaning to a sterile condition I never touch the cleaning rod again. Though I may clean a chamber if it really needs it.
Moly is a lubricant and you will see a pressure / velocity drop, so you will add powder till you reach your operating velocity window...
Dang, you got me to remember I have not shot a naked bullet for 30 years, all have been Moly slicked by me !! out of the crew I hunt and shoot with I am the only one who pounds Moly... For me, Moly's greatest attribute is the constant interface between POI/POA, because there is no screwing...
The 6x45 is simply a wicked little hammer ! I built mine with a 1:7" Pacnor SS super match 3 groove #3 profile finished at 18"... Powder appetite is stupid modest as you will make better than 100fps per grain of powder, with very forgiving manners and amazingly trite ES/SD values. Have dabbled...
