I keep hearing guys talking about the Tubb 6XC without any information other than it is similar to a 22-250! Well, a 22-250 is also similar to a 243 Win case. It is also a reformed 250 3000 Savage case.
What has been done to the standard 22-250 case to make it so popular and talked about, formed cases?
6XC: 1. What is the shoulder diameter?
2. What is the base to shoulder junction length?
3. What is the shoulder angle?
4. What is the neck length?
5. What is the case capacity? I have heard from 39 to slightly over 40 grains.
6. Is case capacity at junction of neck and shoulder or to the top of the neck?
7. Is using a small or large rifle primer?
8. What primers are recommended?
9. Etc,?
Statements like, similar, almost, practically, basically equal, somewhat, almost the same, mean absolutely nothing and gives absolutely no meaning relative to the cartridge or any cartridge for that matter!
Now I am sure some will find fault with what I have to say, my answer to you is, put your self into some new guys shoes or even the most experienced. If you don't know the above you are making that/those individuals "ASSUME"! That is an absolute "No-N0"!
