When you say the "current batch of Tubb brass" I am not sure what that means. Do you mean what people are referring to as the "third generation" of your brass, or is there something else beyond that. Is the brass I took delivery of in summer to fall of 2005 from that batch. The head hardness of the batch I received seemed pretty good.
Could you please clarify this?

We should fill all our 6XC backorders in the next couple of weeks. The reason the staff at SSS doesnt give good feedback is because they are tired of answering questions regarding brass deliver.
This next,200K pieces) batch is very good - we are already loading 115 DTAC ammo and have 2 seperate reports today that confirm what we already suspected.
One report - the user shot an F class match and didnt leave the X ring for 20 shots - What a thrill.
2nd report - the user shot a 7/8 inch,outside to outside) 10 shot group at 200 yards in the rain. He will be at the bortac force modernization this weekend and we will shoot him to 1200+
I am going to try to work up some loads with a 6.5XC this next couple of weeks. Shooting a 123gr Sierra and the venerable 142 - should prove interesting - will be intersting since no one has any data as of yet on the 6.5 X 47 lapua.
The 6.5 XC could also be called the 6.5 x 48.5mm.

David,
We will be real interested to hear your results with the 6.5XC. When you get some data I can put that in the BLOG. You might ask Kaltron for a box of the 108gr 6.5mm Scenars. That is what is going into Lapua's factory 300m ammo from what I'm told.

Chris,
The retail price of the Norma 6XC brass will be around $.50 from Superior Shooting Systems.
As for me I will continue to use the TUBB 6XC brass which sells for less than $.38 in quantity.
Norma emailed me last week and gave me the indication that the 6XC run would take place around Easter.
SSS hopes to be shipping Tubb 6XC brass this week.,about a 10 days later than I posted before- sorry)

BTW- Anyone checked the retail price of the new Lapua 6.5x47 -,wow!)

Chris,
yes- I know the retail and wholesale pricing. I think some else should actually post the #'s.
On another note I will be shooting the 6.5XC around the end of the week with 142's and 123's so those with baited breath can see exactly what this combination's potential will be. The 6.5XC reamer is about 3 years old,when I did it before)...
