Rather poor choice in a Krunchenticker,as COAL "latitude" slams doors shut. I MUCH prefer a 223,when talking 223 cases,in a Krunchenticker. Hint. 6 ARC is where you want to be. Hint. Pardon my simply shooting it all and then some. Hint................ Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.

Are the current BHW offerings still as good or have they slipped? The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

If it's warm/fuzzy leap,if not...punt. Hint............... Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.

They had a 40% off sale for the 4th...expired yesterday, I think. Igitur quī dēsīderat pācem, præparet bellum

I have 2 die sets, but promised one to seafire here already. The 6x45 cartridge is very fun to play with. Very easy to make brass from 223 rem too.

This will limit how long a bullet (tip to ojive length particularly) you can load without the ojive positioning below the top of the neck. I think most shooters of the 6x45 use bullets in the 75-90(?) grain range, not 95-100 grain or heavier.

After the first shot the rest are just noise. Make mine a Minaska Heaven has walls and rules, H-ll has open borders
