[quote=bj139]Welcome to the 6x45 forum IceAxe. 
After my one experience shooting 6x45 yesterday I agree with you.
It is very pleasant to shoot. What purpose did you have in mind for the 80g? I bought some 90g and 100g with an idea of a deer load.

The 58g, 60g, and 75g shot unbelievably well but when I went over 85g the groups opened up. I did have some luck with the GMX as far as accuracy goes but the length caused too much compromise on powder and velocity. In Colorado to hunt deer it would have to have 1000 foot pounds at 100 yards and be 6mm or better. That's what I was hoping to accomplish with an AR, It was great hunting coyote's and is a joy to shoot. I think it is plenty of gun for deer or an antelope with the "right" bullet.
