6xc & 8208xbr load data?

[9sigman45]

Guess my search-fu is weak.
Anyone have first hand experience with the 6xc & 8208xbr that they are willing to share? I currently have 115 DTACs, but plan to try the 105 a-max (if they ever make it back).
Thanks

I don't know about the 115s and XBR. H4350 worked well for me. But with mine the 105VLDs 36.8 worked but much more started showing pressure signs. Mine has a 40 degree ai'd shoulder so back off of that. I would try 35.0 and work up in two tenths increments or maybe 34.6 or so to be safe. 36.8 got my 105s going 3042 with an ES of 6 and I couldn't be happier. H4350 and RL17 gave me better results. RL17 gave me my best overall groups but was so finicky to temperature and pressure, etc. that I gave up on it. H4350 for 115s at 39.5 in my 26" barrel.
Mudcat-NC is a good 6XC info source here on the hide. Robert Whitley may also have some good data as he has done extensive research..

Email me if you want, I have compiled a bit of data on 6XC I can share with you.
