    6mm x 45 loads?


    I am looking for some recommendations on loads for a 6mms x 45 (6mms x 223). They will be for an model 11 trophy Hunter with an Apache barrel 1 in 9 twist, 24", varmint contour for coyote, chucks, etc (some paper punching too). Thanks for any help or direction you guys can give me.

    I built my 6x45 in 2011. I run a 1/10" twist, 24" McGowan SS bbl and have had ZERO issues with any bullets from 55g to 95g.
    I also have a BHW 22" SS p3 1/10" bbl and it shoots the same.
    My go to powder for 55-70g is Exterminator and with 80-95g H335.
    I settled on the above after many test rounds and chrony runs.
    All these powders will work fine:
    w748/h335/benchmark/varget/imr4198/h4198/aa2015/10x/x8208
    I have way over 400 coyotes and 15 antelope to it and more paper targets that I can count.
    Pushing 4k rounds and every load still goes under moa @ 100-400 yds....whats not to like!

    6mm TC/U minimum loads would be a good starting point for the 6x45
