OK,,, my minds made up.
Gonna build a Rem Classic in 6X45.
This will mostly be for Rock Chucks out to 300, with a few Meat Deer thrown in each year.
I like Sierra bullets, especially the 85gr SGK for the casual Deer hunting I do but I'm wide open to suggestions.
Just want to figure out which one before I have the chamber cut if ya know what I mean.
FWIW, not really interested in any of the heavies due to magazine constraints, and the fact that this gun really isn't intended for loooong distances.
Next question is about McGowan Barrels.
I like the fact that they sell pre blued CM barrels at a decent price, but I did see a negative post about em in the plethora of threads my search turned up.
Good?? Bad?? If you own one I'd sure like to hear what you have to say.
Oh yea,,, Dies?
I have a KM mandrel I plan to use for initial sizing, then just neck size. No more than I'll shoot this rifle and as cheap as 223 brass is, I doubt that I'll ever bother with getting a FL die but ya never know.
So will the KM do the trick, and do you anneal after the initial sizing?
Sorry for the novel.
Any thoughts are welcome. Well, almost any. ;>)
Thanks, Charlie
