Both 6x45 shoot really well with 58gr and 85gr bullets

Nice rifles! Did you have any problems with magazine length on your Sako rifles?



No problems, but there isn't any surplus room with the heavier bullets. 80-85 gr is the heaviest I'll shot with the 6x45 any heavier velocity drops.

I also have a 6x47 on a Remington action, it has more magazine length but is twisted 1-12 so longer 6mm bullets don't shot as well.
It's the one on the left, it has a 20"custom barrel that's been rebored and rechambered with a gain twist by Ron Smith a southern Alberta gunsmith.
