I use H414 in my 14 twist 6-250 with 68 gr match bullets at 3650fps and my brass lasts forever. It’s a tight neck chamber and I can push it a LOT faster if I want to make new brass more often. I thought the only purpose of a 6XC was to shoot the high BC bullets?

There is less case capacity than a 6 creed and more than a 6gt. Is my reason for doing it.

Good brass, accuracy and good speed

It was developed for them but reloaders will find a new purpose for pretty much any cartridge especially varmint hunters lol

One of the most impressive barrels I make is the 6br 30 FB 12 twist. As far as just shooting small, it is hard to beat. I betcha my 6xc 50 FB with my 12 twist would blow the doors off. Shoot a 70 TNT probably about 3800 FPS easily.

My 6-250's were fussy about what they liked. Took some messing with to make them shoot the way I wanted. Still have1 and it's very nicely accurate with it's particular load - and super good custom bullet - , but not yet been on the chrono. For me the purpose of a 6XC was the reported outstanding accuracy, and really good very tough brass with 6-250AI capacity. If this thing works as I believe it will, that 12 twist 6-250 could become a 6XC......never know.

I'd be surprised if you weren't pretty impressed with a 12tw 6xc. I really liked the one I had, 70-85gr bullets were fun for woodchucks, crows, and coyotes. I ultimately settled on a 10tw for the 6xc for hunting though.
The 6xc using light bullets has been long overlooked as most of the press has been on LR shooting with them. Just my experience with them, but I've been happier with the button barrels than cut rifled barrels. They just seem to shoot more accurately right out of the gate and maintain their accuracy for me. FWIW. WD

My 24" Hart,14 twist, chambered with a .030 freebore reamer:
65g V max-3900 fps
70g TNT-3740 fps
AA2230 with Federal 210 proving the most accurate, and they were not the max load. The above are at the accuracy nodes with groups in the 2's in a Remington Varmint stock, hogged out to accept the light-weight contour barrel, Jewel trigger, 10-60 Sightron

60g Sierra and 55g Nosler ballistic tips are next

I have tried 4 different powders with the 70g tnt, and the AA2230 proved to be the fastest with incredible accuracy.

These velocities stomp the results that I got with a 14 Twist, 6 Dasher, and the XC was not all that picky between the powders... user-friendly compared to the Dasher.
