Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada 6mm/223 book in final edit

In the home stretch. This is the front and back cover. Some tweaking needs to be done, but the hard work is over.

Hey Steve,
That looks and sounds like an interesting book. No doubt there was a ton of work involved.
I'll need a copy for sure.
Jeff

Hi Jeff. Thanks. I am not at home right now. I tried reproducing the table of contents where I am. Not sure if this is readable.

Well where do we order a copy from?

Sign me up for a copy.

The final edit will take about a week to complete. It will be sold through amazon. I will have a proof copy sent to me so that I can check what gets out to the public. If all goes well, 2 to 3 weeks. I will post a link then.

Thanks Steve,
Was out all day today myself. Good friend and his son from the Edmonton area drew cow elk tags for my area.
Was out helping them scout, hunt starts Monday.

Table of contents looks good, came out pretty clear.
Should an interesting read.
Jeff

I'll check under the couch cushions and be ready to snag a copy as soon as its available!

Looks great!!!

Thanks.

I just submitted the request for a proof copy. If the post office has no problems, it should be here within the week.

If everything checks out, I will approve the proof and it will be available a few days after that.

I got the proper table of contents . When Jeff posted about the book I was not at home. This is the proper ToC.



...

Thank you for your efforts Steve. I will want a copy as well.

Thanks for the kind words. I am expecting the proof copy today (Monday). Hopefully all will be well. At the worst, some minor changes may be necessary. With computer printing, it's a tiny hiccup.

The proof was received and some small changes made. The (hopefully) final proof should be here nlt Friday which means the release should be next week.

Not related to this book, but after almost a year of waiting, my 300 HAMR barrel has been scheduled for shipment to the importer. He tells me about 3 weeks.

That looks like a cool book! Might have to pick up one when they become available.

Following for updates on availability

Thanks guys.

Steve, will you post a link of where to buy the book when it's available?

No problem. Thanks!

The book is now live. Thanks to all who have commented or PMed.

Book Description

The 6x45mm is an improvement on one of the most popular rifle cartridges created in the US, the 223 Remington. It is one of a small number of modern designs that can be used to harvest deer or thin the varmint population.

Using easy to find 223 Remington cases, the 6x45mm is easily reformed by necking up the case to 6mm. No other changes are needed. It is a modern improvement on cartridges like the 30-30 or the 35 Remington. It uses less powder than the old timers and cheaper, 6mm bullets - all in a more compact package with less recoil.

Included are 55, 65, 70, 75 grain varmint loads. 85 and 90 grain whitetail loads. 65, 68 and 70 grain target loads. But it's more than reloading recipes! Learn how to easily convert the 223 Lee Quick Trim die to work with the 6x45mm case. Make you own 6x45mm OAL gauge for use with the Hornady Lock N Load system. Use once fired military brass to reduce your reloading costs. Use the Lee Universal Case Expanding Die to improve your flat base bullet loads. Lessons learned on overpressure loads. Reloading dies and equipment. More.

All loads were shot using one of two rifles converted from 223 Remington.

Included are discussions on building your own rifle. I used Shilen barrels, aftermarket Timney and Rifle Basix triggers, replacement bolt handles and Boyd AT-One and Choate Ultra Varmint stocks.
