A 6x45 for Dad

[dakor]

So after 3 years of hunting Coyotes and Fox with a 6x45 and falling in love with it I built one for my dad.

I built his on a Tikka T-3 Action and used a Benchmark #3 8 twist barrel. I also painted the factory synthetic stock and Cerakoted the metal in the color Stainless.




Test Target 3 shots 100 yards.

Very nice looking rifle. I am envious that you have that kind of relationship with your Dad.

Nice job, I really like the webbing you did on the stock.

Your dad should be proud!

LOVE the 6x45.

Would you care to shed some light on the load you utilized for testing?

I just finished this with the 80gr Bart's
OCW supported with a ladder test.

Primer test
I wound up at 26.7gr W748, Cci450

Thank you. I am lucky to have the Dad I do and I will never be able to pay him back for all the stuff he has done for me.

The load is 26.0gr of H-4895, Fed 205 Primer, Lapua 223 brass necked up and a 75 Hornady HP .010 off the lands. My load for my own 6x45 is all of the above but 26.5 gr of H-4895.

I love the 6x45 its my main coyote rifle and just shoots very well on any given day and hits yotes hard with little pelt damage. I think it hits way harder than a 223.

That is normal for the 6-223/6x45,6TCU.

I would have a harder time telling you what doesn’t work. I am on my fifth one and first full length rifle.
