Ummm....what u talkin bout?? Not the same cartridge. Not the same ballistics. Not the same caliber. Not the same.... Well, I guess they are both brass cased cartridges...... What am I missing? 6 times 45 equals 270....... I had a custom 6x47........a helluva good cartridge and VERY accurate.... |

A 6x45 is a 5.56 necked up to 6mm to shoot .243 projectiles. No changes to any other part of the firearm except the barrel. Looks fun.

I have a 6X45 Remington 700. 24" Shilen Select Match LV benchrest weight barrel.
The 6X45 is extremely accurate for some reason. I almost can't find a bad load for it. 6mm match bullets are plentiful and very accurate. I've run up to 105 grainers due to my 1X8 twist but velocity is really slow. Uses 223 brass with only a run through the sizer to make the neck 6mm. Powders are pretty much every one the 223 uses. Benchmark, IMR 8208, and CFE223 work for me. Barrel life is about forever since its so mild. Recoil is on par with same weight bullets in 223. Should be the same results in an AR if you are converting one to 6X45. Only limit there is mag length. I can load long in my bolt gun. Its a fun round. |
| ^^^ Same exact experience. Up to 85-87 grain bullets you can still get them going pretty darned fast. After that velocities drop pretty quick. Extremely effective on medium game like smallish deer, coyote, pig and all manner of varmints. With the right bullet for the purpose at hand it was a nice upgrade over a .223 for everything I wanted a rifle of that power level to do. Not a good idea if you have .223's laying around too unless you practice really good separation and labeling discipline. |
