You've been doing a lot of shooting with this 6x45. Weather must be pretty good? It's been raining off and on over here with some pretty mild temps. Thankfully during my shoot last Saturday, it was damn nice:

Tried shooting yesterday, but it wanted to rain the whole damn time!!! If you have not tried the 85gr Sierra gameking, I'd be trying that one. I don't know how the 90gr gamechanger would do, but that could also be a great candidate for a deer bullet. My 6x45 also really liked the 100gr Hornady btsp. Those were on sale last year for a damn good deal, so I bought about 600. I sold almost all of my 6mm stuff to beretzs though. I have been seeing a lot of 85gr partitions for sale around here. Don't know if $30/box is good, but if I had a 243 I'd be snagging those.
