Not for me, I'm buying a Donor Rifle with a low Round count 8twist 6xc barrel and EC tuner, and some once fired Brass. I just wanted the Action and Stock. Gaging interest. I'll borescope it when it arrives

Varmints, deer and 1000yrd

Yup,. This ^^^
I use, the 80 gr. H-P Berger, Targ / Varmint, Bullets for Sage Rats And, the 108 gr. Berg., Elite Hunters for, Deer / Antelope ( Kills chit, Way, out there ! ).
The 105 Berg. Hybrids, 107 SMK's and 108 / 109 gr Berg's for, Longer Range, Targets.
Forster Dies and Norma Brass work together, Beautifully for, Me ! ( Peterson Brass is Now avail, too ! )
I Use, the 95 grain, Classic Hunt's @ 3,200+ FPS or, the 103 gr. ELD-X's @ 3,100 for, Yotes.
A Fun Cartridge that replaces, the 243 win for Me and it's, THE Most accurate Rifle that, I Own.
Low 2's / 3's with, Berger's / Sierra's 107's, Up to, 4's and 1/2 MOA with, the 103 gr. ELD-X's from a 10.5 lb. Braked, 24" Rifle. Good Luck with, Yours !

I started using one for prone competition. Like it so much that I built a hunting rifle in 6xc. Silly accurate and low recoil.

The 6 XC Has Won, at Least 4, 1,000 yard, Championship's that,.. I know of !
It's a great Combination of, Extreme Accuracy, Plus,.. good Velocity for, "All around" Uses.
I Chose it, over the 6 Creed / .243 Win for, this reason and,. the Better, Barrel Life !

 

[brad6ppc]

Put it next to the 6 Creedmoor, almost exactly alike but it was first so that tells you something.

 

[Idaho-Lefty]

CHEAP Factory, 6 mm Creedmoor "Ammunition", is Mostly, what, "Killed" the 6XC off, Except for,..
the Serious, Reloaders / Competitors.
I think Hornady was, too CHEAP to, Pay D. Tubb,.. a small Royalty ( Maybe ? )
The 6 Creed is OK But, the 6 XC is,.. a way BETTER, design,.. JMHO,. LOL !
The Longer Neck and a Few grains,.. LESS Powder, allow for, Better,.. Barrel "Life"
Personally, I won't Be, Changing from,.. It !

Great fun cartridge I have 4 of them 3 do bugholes and a guy in PA is doing well at 1000yds with one and David Tubb...I like it myself fun to shoot...39 grs of triple nickel work well for me with a 108 berg

I've owned a 6XC in a competition rifle (T2K) and a 6 Creedmoor in a hunting rifle with a Kreiger light target barrel.... I truly wish I would have chambered the 6 Creedmoor barrel in 6XC because the Creedmoor is far less accurate at long range than the 6 XC.

Plenty of love for that cartridge right here. I have one set up for target use and one for hunting use. Both shoot the 105gr Berger hybrids. As a long range deer / antelope cartridge I would venture to say there is none better. I have personally killed deer out to 763 yards with mine and seen it used to kill out to over900. One and done bang flops. Kills very well for it's size. I am a firm believer in matching the caliber to the intended target and shooting the XC at deer is like shooting Jack Rabbits with a .22 Mag. Just plain works. The 105s dump most if not all of their energy into the deer and when it does exit it does so with extreme exit wounds. I will never be without one.

6xc is awesome.

Over the last 15 years I have shot the 6xc in 8, 9, 10, and 12 twist barrels. Every one of them was a very good to excellent shooter. For hunting deer, coyotes and 'chucks the 10 tw is an excellent choice. Easy to load for too. JME. WD

6xc is awesome.

Try it.... you'll like it!! JME. WD

I also like the looks of the 22xc...

22xc is basically equally awesome.

 

[urbanrifleman]

Try it.... you'll like it!! JME. WD

I can shoot any caliber I make. In 22, I shoot 223, 223a, 22bra, and 22xc. 22xc is one of the true easy buttons.

I sure like my 6XC

I sold a 6XC nut barrel to one of my customers. He is a high master shooter of 30 years of across the course. He stuck it in a REM 700 action and an Elisio chassis and went out and shot his highest score ever.
