Built my 6x45 in 2011.
BHW, ss, P3 1/10 twist, 20 " bbl
My go to coyote load is 28g h335, 55g varmageddon at 3053fps, suppressed.
The fastest I've shot 55s were 3300 fps. Never got faster no matter the powder.

Thanks 5spd for update…sounds like you’re primarily using yours for same purpose I’d be using one for. I’ve contemplated and talked with Matt at Dtech on several occasions about their 6DTI and it looks like I could prolly get that 3500fps but in comparison to having to get 6.8 brass I still feel pulled towards the 6.5x45….most of my shots be 350yards and less here in western Missouri.

I’ve seen several threads you’ve commented on and appreciate all your input as it’s helped with my project. I’m curious do you feel the 55’s in your 6x45 so a good job anchoring those bigger yotes or one’s at a distant? I’d really like to run 55’s for speed and trajectory but i just wonder if I’d eventually have to load up 70’s to cover wider margin of shot placement error.

For comparison my 24" 6-223AI shoots 55gr with h322 at 3350fps fairly easily. With 2200 powder it will hit 3750fps.

My farthest coyote with the 55g was 606 yards. Dropped right down, spine hit. I have no doubts when I have to stretch it past 400 yds since I have all my dial ups to 600yds. Just about all my kills are 200 yds or less though.
My pal runs the 65g vmax in his ar15 6x45 I built for him.
70g bullets womp em good, but are around 2800fps. 55-85g are just super accurate in the 6x45.
I also built a 6x6.8, 22" BHW bbl, ss, p3, 1/9 tw.
I run 90g bullets in that rig and it's even better than the 6x45 since the 90s are running 3100 fps.
6x45 is my go to daytime coyote rig.

Thanks 5spd I certainly wouldn't be opposed to 6x6.8 either once the brass situation gets back to "normal". Cheapest I can seem to find any is gunbroker and it's anywhere from $.50-$1.00/piece for brass...I guess I just don't want to have coyote hunters purchase remorse if I went with the 6x45.
