6x45

[Te Hopo]

any idea on speed for 95-115gr bullets?

Sorry, I got confused with the long throated 22-204 known as the 22 Terminator here

I built a 9 twist 6x45 on a Sako Vixen action using a Hart barrel. Barrel is same length and contour os original was, 23” I believe. I shoot 100gr bullets and hunt deer in the Adirondacks with it. Feeds flawlessly from original magazine. One built on a longer action would give greater COAL but wouldn’t be of Vixen (Bofors) quality. I’ve taken a few bucks with it inside of 100 yards. It’s one of my favorite rifles and would be one of the last I’d sell. I shoot once fired Lake City brass and bought 1,000 pieces for under $100. Brass forming is one pass on FL sizing die. Currently shooting 95 gr Partitions with Rl15 (extremely accurate), bucks were shot with 100gr Norma Oryx and H4895. For where I hunt the ARC would give me nothing additional. If I need more (never have) I’d step up to a .243 Win (I have two) or bigger. Great cartridge, lots of fun and cheap to shoot. Love it. Currently building a Mini Grendel. If you decide to build one you won’t be disappointed if you understand its capabilities going in. Have fun.

I’ve got a Brux barrel on the way for a 6x45 build. It’s headed to my gunsmith at 29”. Thinking of finishing at 28”. This will be a single feed paper punching/local match gun. What do you think about that length?

I don’t shoot matches so have no experience with barrels that long. Brux has a great reputation, should be a great shooter.

Bumping this up to the top as I am having a 6x45 built after looking at this round for a year or so.

Tikka t3
Benchmark #4 @20" 8 twist
Throated out for the 87 v max

Excited to get it and play with a new round. Thanks for all the great data and help to a couple of you out there.

Keep talking 6x45

I had one of my 6x45 barrels cut down to 16” and fluted by Kampfeld. It’s on the way back to me and I’ll be playing with that shortly. I’ve never done a 16” so I’m curious to know what velocities I’ll get.
