[QUOTE="krummarine, post: 1013825, member: 5894"] Brian: that was one of my reasons for going to this caliber. I have a daughter who is nearing hunting age and I thought this would be a perfect round to learn, and hunt with. The gunsmith that built it recommended to keep the hunting range for deer to 200 yards. That's about perfect for the farm we hunt as 95% of the deer we've taken over the years have been shot at about 75-125 yards. I've read accounts on the net of people taking deer and coyotes at much longer ranges with this round but I haven't had the opportunity or need to do that yet. The barrel is 24" but I see lots of guys using a 22" and 20" or less on an AR-15 platform while getting good results. My book says this load runs at about 2700 fps; I could have loaded it a little hotter but didn't see the need. It's a really "user friendly" round to load for even a novice like me with a good selection of bullets to choose from. If you google, "6X45" it will spit out lots of info.
