6mm XC Ammo For Sale- Top Retailers Available
6mm XC (also known as 6XC) is a "wildcat" rifle cartridge, similar to the 6x47mm Swiss Match. The 6mm XC was initially developed specifically for the NRA High Power match shooting by 11-time NRA High Power National Champion David Tubb.
It is touted as being one of the most accurate long-range 6 rounds in the world that is designed for repeating rifles.
Initially, the case for this wildcat had to be formed from .250 Savage brass, but it is now commercially available.
The 6XC is a 1000-yard cartridge, comparable to benchrest calibers such as 6x47mm Swiss Match, 6.5×47mm Lapua, and 6 mm/22-250; it fits into cartridge class that exceeds the velocities of benchrest calibers such as 6mm BR Remington, 6mm BRX and 6mm Dasher.
