Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting 6XC for long (medium) range hunting

Well, finally I finally got my 6XC barrel.

I mounted one of the new Leica ER-i scopes in 3-12x50 and have been to the shooting range twice. Norma showed much lower loads than QL, so for precaution's sake I followed Norma's advise with the result that the first loads were too low so, sooting the cases, so I did not experiment much.

I am loading 105gr AMaxes on Norma brass, with CCI Br-2 and Norma URP powder and so far so good... Without any fiddling, the Amaxes at 3,010 fps print nice triangles, with a 0.6" or smaller, center to center spread.

I am quite happy with this gentle little cartridge and I hope to shoot some does with it before the end of the season, whenever the nasty weather we have here stops.

Best regards,

Alvaro
