The 2nd batch of brass from Tubbs was really good. Maybe not quite Lapua good but it stands up and shoots quite well. After reading a piece on the 6XC and RL17 that was written about German Salazar, I was interested in the cartridge. Mark Chanlynn made me a barrel for my AI, at 28” HV profile, with a left 1-7.8 twist it hammer 105 Hybrid and also the 108BT. I had to down load to keep it under 3000FPS. I wanted to get some barrel life. It shoots nice groups, and is very friendly to load for.

Indeed
 
N550 works rather well but I don't shoot comp anymore, it bugholes in my 2 6xc barrels at 100..I don't know about way out there..it shoots good at 450yds have shot groups under a inch, but that's mediocre compared to what some people shoot, and not very often more like 2inches or more... 37.8 grains, (I never went higher because it shot well at 37.8
