Bart , I have a 20 inch barrel on the Savage Axxis in the 6 x 45, with a one in 7 twist. Heaviest bullets I shoot are the 105 Hornady HP/BT....and the Sierra 107 gr BTHP....which do just fine.. so does the various 100 gr bullets I have shot out of both rifles. I don't think you'll be handicapped with a 19 inch barrel.

Let me know how much you want for the stock for the Winchester Push Feed. I'd be interested in it for sure.

cheers and good luck with your wife's 6 x 45. I wish I'd have built one 40 plus years ago... If I had of, I wouldn't have so many bolt action 223s nowadays.... Thinking about ordering another 6 x 45 barrel from Douglas. Turn around was 4 weeks on the first and 6 weeks on the second one.
