I have read a lot of info about the 6x45 and how to make the case but I guess my head is thick because I still don't have a good handle on what the trim length is for this cartridge.
Can someone explain this to a slow old man?

Can someone explain this to a slow old man? 1.750. Same as the 223. Greg PS: Don;t trim the 223 before you neck them up. The necks get SHORTER when you expand them up. |

Thanks for the info on this and the barrel twist question. Now to get the barrel ordered. I recently built a rifle in 6x45 with a BHW barrel. So far I have only had time to fire the recommended break-in rounds. I wasn't shooting those for accuracy. I just wanted to get the break-in done. I was very pleased with the accuracy even though I wasn't really trying. When I get a good accurate load and get serious I am sure I will be shooting very tiny groups. You will be very happy with your Black Hole Weaponry barrel. Bob |

I have a lee gauge that I use with the cutter that I adapted to the RCBS trim mate power station and used a 243WSSM gauge with a tiny 243x0.09 bushing that gives me uniform 1.76" 6x45 cases. You can also mill a 243win gauge or in a pinch use the .223rem gauge.
It is very hard to do a bad 6x45 load. It is very forgiving. I think you can piss inside that case and will give you amazing groups.
Is the BHW going to continue offering the 10 twist?
Merry Christmas.
