6x45 ACKLEY, or just stay with 6x45?

[brian923]

i found SOME info on a 6x45 ackley improved. i was wanting to know if there are products such as reamers, headspace gauges, and dies for reloading out there,easy to get and not a million dollars)

would i gain a lot from the ackley, or should i stick with the regular 6x45?


also.....would it even work in an Ar-15?
thanks guys, brian

if i am correct, i think that the 6x45 ackley is the same thing as the 6 mm tcu. i have heard of people fireforming there brass for this round. how is this done? thanks, brian

Dies shouldn't be to hard to come by.
Redding bushing die in .223 AI and just swap out for a 6mm bushing.
Just get a 6mm tapered button and neck them up, load with projectiles and a warm .223 load and go to the range or hunting so that will mean fireforming shouldn't be hard either and maybe fun.

I have no idea about the TCU family or cartridges it might be the same as what i have said it might not.

later

I have an AR 15 in 6x45 AI...aka 6mm TCU. It shoots sub 1" 5 shot groups @ 200 yards with 70 Sierras. Awesome little cartridge and has great bbl life.
