Re: 6XC opinions
I have 2 my dad has 1 and I know a few other guys that have them.
It's a great cartridge, Barrel life isn't exatly what it's cracked up to be, But inherant accuracy is great.
I realy haven't seen anyreason to build a 6xc over a 243 exept the barrel life which like I said Isn't the 2500 rounds it was expected to be. HOpe this helps, Anymore questions just Pm me.
Oh and we have 26 inch kriegers on surgeons down to 22 inch, that 4 inches is alot of free velocity, but it's alot of extra weight.

Re: 6XC opinions
I have a little over 2800 rds. down the tube & it still turns in 15 shot groups of 3.25" @ 400 yards. While not the most accurate out there I'm still happy with performance. I have an extra bbl. but don't see any real reason to put it on just yet.

Re: 6XC opinions
Put a little better scope on the remmy today.LOL. BTW the Tubb has a 26" and the remmy is 27.5". I have pushed the 115 near 3100 in the 26 inch with RE17 but just picked the Remmy up yesterday and have not done load work yet.......
I have been using PMC primers which are the same as Wolf.

At 1200 the 6xc out of the Tubb Rifle was really going some...... Of course overall from 800 to 1200 the top score went to a 308
Trg22 of Course!

Re: 6XC opinions
Not to detract from Steve's outstanding five v bulls in succession , considering the pissing rain ( ahh springtime in the UK). But the standard long range V bull is a whopping 14.4 inchs. Must be why I never managed to hit it that day.

It's a wild cat based on the .243 Win. I think they change the shoulder angle and remove some taper from the case, not an AI though.

Hi Tony
I saw the scores yesterday, congratulations on your score, and as you say with the .308.
I thought it said in the target book that the V bull was 7 1/2 inches? or was that just for the 800 and 900 yard relays?

That particular day was an informal competition for the British Sporting Rifle Club. It was shot at the Stickledown Range at Bisley, England which has firing points from 800 to 1200 yards.

Thanks. I believe it's a 7.8 inch V bull at 600 yards.
Cheers.
