Nate,
What have you shot at 100 (yards?) that 6x45 bounced off of?
Anxious to read the tale.

When I wanted my first high powered rifle I asked both my grandpa's what to get they both said 30/06 for any game in North America that's what I bought. But that was to easy thinking maybe there opinions were dated being they were ww2 vets. I started trying every caliber I could afford after years of spending time and money I am right back where I started and they already were. 30/06 if long action is ok 308 win. if short action preferred. My brother on the other hand has the discipline to not chase the hype and marketing bought a 270 win. first and has not felt the need to change because it has worked every time on everything. go figure

hmmm maybe my 308 rounds are milder. I will admit I may not have converted Meters to yard’s correctly in my calculations but my normal 308 rounds drop 17.7 at 300 yards and close to 23.5 at 300 Meters. Darn English to metric conversions
Nothing produced commercially 4 years ago even came close to the performance of the new cartridges.
Spent the last week reading up on the 6.5 and I did decide to make the change. Picking up the rifle this week, then it's getting wrapped and going under the tree.
Which 6.5?
Gosh, I love trolls. I just can't eat a whole one.
I don't have a lot to prove anymore except to myself, but you asked to hear about things, so I'll kindly oblige.
I don't own a 6x45, and I don't plan to. That being said, if you care to know, from .223 and 5.56 NATO, I have run 55-90 grainers from 2 through 1,000 yards in barrels from 10.5" through 24"...Everything in my signature lines was done with .223. I've used 5 different brands of casings, numerous bullets, several powders, and spec my own chambers at this point. Granted .224 is not .243", but if you run the numbers on SD of 80 and 90 grain .224, and compare them to your favorite 6x45 bullets, I think you'll find I'm pretty far ahead in that department.
What's not in those signature lines is well north of 1,000 inches of antler on several walls and record books, and enough other animals killed to amount to some earned respect from those who know me beyond this little internet you are able to so anonymously inhabit.
I have never lost a deer I shot with a gun. Ever. There are lots of reasons for that, but a very good one is that I have always used enough gun. I was handed a 12 gauge full of Super-X slugs as an 8 year old, and that was the understanding: "If you want to do this, stand up like a man and do it."
So,
1) If you're questioning my understanding of the 45mm .378" casing, you better be a firearms engineer, or work for JGS.
2) If you're questioning my judgement on what it takes to humanely and easily kill all sizes and genders of Indiana whitetail deer, in all conditions they can be encountered, then we'll just have to disagree.
For the deer's sake, I hope you can shoot as well as you run your mouth.

The Redfields made by Leupold are the "Revolution" models. The "Revenge" models are import (Philippine IIRC).

Had one 4-12X and five of the 2-7X.
No probs with any.
Note: adjustments IIRC are 1/4 per click at 100. On three it was noticed that the increment was correct for one axis, but bigger for the other.
1.5x what it was reported to be.
They zeroed OK..........but took less clicks than thought initially LOL.
