Hello,

Need some help loading with a heavier bullet. For a 6x45mm, 1:8 built on a mini-14 ranch platform. Has anyone tried 100 grain .243 bullets in 6x45 brass? Hodgdon's load site lists their light load of 21.5-23.0 gr. of H335.

Haven't bought the powder or bullets yet and thought to not reinvent the wheel if someone already has checked this recipe for loading w/100 gr. bullets.

Appreciate very much any thoughts/experiences.

A tech, Dave, from Sierra bullets emailed some loads for up to 90 gr. bullets with a COL of 2.260 inches!

The original mini 14 magazines look to accept a COL of 2.300 inches.

Said trajectories can be found at www.exteriorballistics.com

Also that can load 100 gr. as well but to watch for signs of excessive pressure.

I'm having a gun in 6x45mm being built and would love to know how the 100gr bullets do for you.
