Default New Cooper 6x45,

Well after 8 Months wait, the model Cooper M51 6x45 1-10 twist Excablier stainless, 20" is now in my hands, Swarvoski Z5, 3x18 and Talley mounts,

Have now got loads worked out, and this rifle, is by far the least fussy, I have ever worked with. So far everything from 60-80gr, with several powders is sub 1" and 60 Sierra, 65gr anything and 75gr Sierra HP are less than 1/2" at 100m, now working on a 80-85gr deer load,



Very happy with the 75gr accuracy at 2995fps, and the 65 v-max at 3150, as only a 20" barrel, Trying the 58gr v-max for more varmint speed, and 85gr sierra, next trip to the range,
Big game opens in a few weeks, hopeing for a meat deer. Rifle will be coming to New Zealand, next time I fly down, and getting a trim to 18" and a suppressor installed.
Mostly this thread is a thanks, for the information provided, by others Saubier members, when I first started looking into a small sub cal 6mm.

Neat rifle. I didn't know Cooper made the Model 51 in stainless steel. How does it feed from the magazine?

My Cooper 10 twist 6x45 model 21 with 22" barrel shoots a sub .2 with Sierra 75 varmint bullets and H322.

You might try the 85gr HP Sierra GameKing for hunting and the 70gr Sierra BlitzKing for varmints.
