6x45

[Taudisio]

I am heading to the range Sunday with some 95gr TMKs. I’ll post up my results as long as it’s not so foggy I can’t see the 100 yard targets.

What was the recipe for that load?

Do you remember OAL?

ADI case
117gr TMK
26gr Lever
Fed205
2.615” coal

It was compressed- don’t know how hot it is.

I can’t imagine that fit into a magazine…

So many good bullets in 6/45 power range it seems. I'm twisted 7.5 and so far the 75 vmax, 87vmax, 90 eld, 95 VLD and Classic all shoot great and at velocities of 2650 to 3000 fps for the 75. Maybe I can hit MO and try to stack some deer this fall.

Nah. Was just a check to see if they stabilized for low impact velocity testing.

I shot 3 whitetails this season with the 90 gr ELD-X. MV of 2,504 fps out of a 16" ULUL build.

1st - high lung shot quartering towards at 300 yds. Complete pass through. Deer dropped on impact.
entrance

2nd - Quartering low lung shot entered last ribs and broke opposite shoulder. 300 yds. Remained standing for 10 or 15 seconds then bedded. Took a minute or so to expire.

Humerus was decimated. Found a couple jacket petals while digging around and had very small fragmented exit hole in the hide. Did not find large bullet mass of any kind but did not process it due to positive CWD test.


3rd - ill-advised shot trying to fill a tag as 2nd shooter on moving animal. 250 yards, quartering away. Broke femur on entrance and exited through guts. Ran 40 yards before going down and was promptly dispatched with a shot to the neck.

Overall, I'm impressed with the damage and penetration at relatively lower impact velocities ~ 2,000 fps
