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

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
