[QUOTE="Lowlander, post: 2117851, member: 115963"] The appeal for me moving up to a 6mm is you have to run at least a 6mm bore for deer hunting here in WV. Plus I want to build an economical rifle for my son to practice with and hunt with too. I originally planned to build a 6mm on an AR but I recently came into a 223 bolt face action that I would like to use instead. I'm thinking the 6x45 would be perfect because it's simple to make brass for, plus I have plenty of quality 223 brass on hand. It's low recoil and has a great bullet selection in 6mm. So I'm starting to lean towards the 6x45 for building him a trainer/hunting rig. For you guys that are running the 6x45, does this cartridge benefit from a longer barrel velocity wise? I don't want the rifle to be too unwieldy, I'm thinking a 20-22" barrel. Also, I'm assuming this cartridge shines with bullets on lighter end of the 6mm spectrum? Got any twist rate recommendations?
