Anyone use the 6XC for stalking?

[Druid]

Confusingly, in this context CM can be Competition Match or Creedmoor. Regards JCS

Thank god for that!! Thanks JCS

ugly brute...
Should have got a 6BR.....

I bought a new barrel on my Sauer 202 in 6XC......and all I can say that's it's extremely accurate and easy on the shoulder, factory ammo and brass is available from Norma and it's very straight forward to form other brass from 22-250 if you want to. It became one of my favourite right away. By the way 22-250 and 6XC have never had any feeding issues that I know of.....

This is a 4 shot group at 100 metres with 2.5-10x56 S&B. Norma Factory ammo 105gr, bullet.

He can't, he has had his account suspended for a couple of years now.

Any more using 6xc now?

If i ever get sick of the 6.5x47 and .284 Win I would look at re barreling the 47 to 6XC and .284 to 6.5/284.

I've only met 2 others in person who shoot a 6XC. Regards JCS

I looked at just about every 6mm cartridge, after spending an age reading up on the various cartridges , I'm having the rebarrel done in good old 243 .
Factory brass for 6xc is in the £100+ bracket for 50(Norma)
6mm creedmoor has the same case capacity as a 243 Lapua case .
In the end whatever small advantages there were ,weren't enough to make me change (well not this time , maybe next time ).

On location with mine, very very accurate

On location with mine, very very accurate

That would be accurate whatever the calibre

Unless you like the idea of fire forming and feed problems,
I would opt for the 6x47 Lap or a 243.

Better still a 6.5 x 47

I use a 6*47 Lapua and can vouch for it. Very good for everything up to Fallow and exceptionally accurate. Mine is a 10 twist as it started life as a foxing gun, but now promoted to deer. 100 grain Sierra SPT at 3200 fps and that's not even up to pressure. If you want to use longer bullets you will need 8.5 twist.

Sorry, just seen how old this thread is!

Sorry, just seen how old this thread is!

It's ok, Straightpull review it last year anyway

 

[swagger700]

First 6 rounds load development was less than a inch at 395 yards other day when dialed scope in . Hope 300 wsm barrel performs the same

 

[swagger700]

First 6 we're at hundred yards , my shooting is better than computer skill thankfully Jon

 

[welshwarrior]

A client has one I've shoot it
on the range it's accurate but so can any rifle be if you fancy it go for it.
