Try calling Sierra. Every time I have called them they have been very obliging. Good Luck on the 6x45. I am currently working on 85 gr Speer with H335. Going to go down to 70 & 75 gr and see how they shoot. The longer bullets take up too much case capacity in my opinion. For the range on the 6x45 I think a flat base bullet will be a better choice.
Edited to add my project is a bolt gun.

The highest it goes is to 90 grain.
I'm using 90 BT in mine with good results , H-335 @ 24.5 in R-P cases.

I tested a lot of different bullets and powders with the 6x45 in a Remington 700 platform. H335 was the best powder for 70gr and up. The TNTs were an easy button, as well as the 90/95 grain bullets.
For some screaming 55gr try AA2200. I don't have my numbers with me at work but it was over 3600 fps with the 55gr Shot bullets.
Great cartridge for minimal powder use. I just struggled to get it to feed properly. I think if I was to revisit it, I would just go with a Magpul stock and AICS 223 mags.

I have a PDF with a lot of 6X45 loads in it. Not sure where it is from anymore, but I got my hands on it a few years back when I built my 6X45.
I have attached it here.

I will also add that the powders that work good for heavy bullets in the .223 will work with the 6X45.
The GameChanger bullets may be a bit too hard for the velocities of the 6X45. I have had much better luck with match and "varmint" bullets in mine for hunting. I have taken multiple whitetails and a black bear with mine.
