The 95 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip shoots great, just as accurate as any of the lighter weights. Never planned on going with anything heavier than 90-95 grains. Speed kills. and I don't have any long range shots that would benefit me by going with a higher BC bullet such as the 105 gr. A-max. The balance of good velocity with a decent ballistic coefficient is more important to me in the smaller cartridges. What's a typical OAL for your loads? I was thinking a nice old Sako Vixen would make a nice 6X45, but fear the mag box is too short. What fresh Hell is this?
