Thinking of getting one , I have a variation but can't find much info.

I've just bought dies to reload / reform 223 brass so I guess I'm committed to the project now.

From what I remember, the 6x45 was developed in order to give the AR platform a little more performance in a magazine feedable format only requiring a barrel change. Since those days though, there has been a myriad of work and a plethora of cartridges developed for the AR that are just so much better than the .223 or the 6x45 for that matter.

For S&G, fill your boots with your new project. But, if looking for an improvement over .223 chambering you won’t get it with a 6x45 as long, heavy, fast twist .22cal beat it bullet for bullet.

No but as sim said there are a lot of options now having watched some demolition ranch videos I’m tempted by the .458 SOCOM

.224 Valkyrie is the one I'm most interested in. It's necked down 6.8SPC case launching a 90gr .224 projectile. So far the specs look good and should be a fairly cheap 1000 yard rifle, cheaper bullets and smaller powder charge, early data suggests still supersonic well past 1000 yards.

.458 SOCOM is the way to go, ooman...

I'm awaiting my Bradley arms .300 aac blackout...
