Is that not just "a better mousetrap" baldie? The 6x45 (or also known as the 6-223) has been doing that for years....baldie wrote:I have a grendel upper. It took some sorting, but eventually i got to top end loads with vhit 133 and the 123 grain scenar. I fitted a sarony lever, but to be honest, it doesn,t need it. The gun has never been the worlds most accurate, it averages around 3/4" but it will do that with regularity. However, i feel that its slightly undergunned capacity wise for such a bullet. I,m chambering another barrel for it shortly, in 6mmAR which is a necked down grendel. That will push a 90 grain scenar at 2750, and will blow the .223,s into the weeds on the 5/600 practical stages methinks.
If ever I had shot the barrel out on my SGC, the 6x45 was going to be my rebarrel of choice.
