[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2528377, member: 115658"] I had a 6X45 (.223 necked up to 6mm) for many years & shot rodents with the 60 Sierra hp & H335. It was a 12 twist. Perfectly satisfactory for 300 and under rodents. It was built on a Rem XP100 action with a Rem 700 trigger. Long barrel life & easy to develop loads. It would probably work out well with 75 VMax bullets & IMR 8208 for hot day rodents and maybe up to 400. Hodgdon shows velocities between 2850 - 3000 fps with 75 grain VMax bullets making it better than a 300 yard rodent & target round. Rather have a .243W or such for shooting deers. [/QUOTE]
