Because 6x45mm is awesome.
And brass is free.
Inherent accuracy, in my opinion, is a myth. Much of the stereotyping of cartridges, I believe, comes down to the people using them.
Serious target and competition shooters run the PPCs, BRs, and x47s (all of them). They take the time to work out the bugs, find the perfect loads, and fine-tune the rifle and ammunition. And, they're generally more practiced and better-trained shooters.
But it's more of a hobbyist proposition for the guys using cartridges like 6x45mm, where brass is easier to obtain, cheaper, or simpler to work with. For the most part, those guys seem more motivated to get a load together that's "good enough" than spending time working on
perfecting a load. And, of course, most of them (myself in particular) are not as practiced or well-trained.

taylorce1,
Looking good. (I missed this when originally posted.)
Did you ever get the serial number issue/confusion worked out?
