6x45

Sako L461 in 6x45. I contoured the barrel to match the original. Under 7lbs with glass.

Thanks for all the positive input. My next question would be since the case is of relatively small capacity, and probably won't be able to drive the really heavy 6mm bullets like 105 -110gn, it probably would shine best with lighter shorter bullets, what twist rate would you guys recommend I use?

It will handle the 95gr SMK's great, 1:8 twist barrel and you're good to go. It just so happens that throated for the 95's the 85gr VMAX fit perfectly also. I have been thinking about trying the 90gr Tipped SGK, they should do well. I also bought some 95gr Bergers but haven't tried the yet. I'm shooting a 6x204 but have shot the 95gr SMK in my buddies 6x45 and you can stretch its legs pretty good.

Built a 6TCU a few years back. Had shot variations of 6-223 for a long time in a pistol.
The rifle is just boringly accurate with 60-80 grain bullets. Powder, never found it to be picky.
