Anyone KNOW for a FACT who makes Tubb's 6XC brass? I have been using Norma, but Tubb marked cases are quite a bit less.

I was told that Norma makes the brass, but after talking to a gent at Tubb's SSS company....who claimed he did not know who makes their brass???....I am wondering what the real deal is.

Anyone here using Tubb brass?

Anyone??


Take care,Stan

It's all I've used since day one. I was told that it's made by Norma for SSS. Good stuff.

I thought the Tubb marked brass was no longer available???? I will stick with the Norma headstamp. I've had some of the Tubb marked brass split necks on the first firing. This was with a breakin kit that came with my SpecTacLr.

I think Silver State Armory in Nevada used to make the 6XC brass. I am fairly sure they stopped now. They are a big supplier of the 6.8spc ammo.

This is what I was just told from another forum:

"Stan, the Tubb headstamped brass is made by MAST Technologies. I use the Norma 6XC headstamped brass and used Norma 22-250 before. Like John, I also had good results with the Winchester 22-250 but since I prefer to have the right headstamp on brass for reasons of my own, I stick to the Norma 6XC now. I tried the Tubb version and much prefer the Norma."


Take care,Stan
