6XC With H1000

[Ajwillly]

I've read that there isn't enough case volume to use H1000 with the 6XC. Has anyone had any luck? I'm looking to load 115gr DTACs I have a 28in 1-7.5 with a .140 free bore and unlimited magazine length.

I'm not sure you'll have enough case volume to get it up to velocity. Worth a try though. If not tRyan rl26, h4831sc or the old stand by of h4350.

I have some 4350 and 4831SC to try, I just don't want to burn out my barrel so fast. Slowly realizing I should have gone for the 6creed haha

I am getting 2935 FPS with 47 grains of H1000 under the new DTAC in my 6 Creed. This load is very slightly compressed and shot out of a 28" 1:7.5 Bartlein barrel. I just got done with a match and need to get my speed again. I only had 99 rounds on the barrel before the match, and there is a chance I may have gotten a little more speed after the last 70 rounds or so.

I don't know what the difference is case capacity is between the 6XC and 6CM, but I do know that David Tubb has stated that his load in the 6XC is 45 grains of H1000 under the DTAC for something over 3050 FPS.

I'm shooting a 6 Creedmoor. I tested a load last Thursday. It was:

6 Creed alpha munitions brass
CCI BR-2
47.4 gn H1000
105 Nosler RDF jumped .060

I was crunching powder pretty good and had some pretty good pressure signs but my velocity was 3187 with a 10 fps spread. I won't be running that load. My gun likes 3140 fps range.

You ever try it out?

I talked to Tubb about it and he gave me the load he used, said he got around 2950. I've been working on finishing my stock for the rifle for the last few weeks, I should have it done and be able to test some loads on Tuesday.

I could get as much as 45 grains with a drop tube, 115 dtac .140 freebore. Velocity was there but not the accuracy.

 

[Ajwillly]

What kind of velocity were you getting?

These were shots 8-15 on a new 28" Bartlein 7.5 twist, 115 DTAC, H1000
42-2858
42.5-2934
43-2953
43.5-2976
44-2994
44.5-3032
45-3067
45.5-3092

Tried some H1000 today in my 6xc with converted Hornady Creedmoor brass. Shooting 107MK in a 26 inch Krieger 1.7.5 twist. 5 shot average was 2980. That is enough gas for me just need to work on the accuracy and SD. I just picked a charge 45gr. No signs of pressure and still had a little room to stuff some more powder in it. SD was high at 28fps but the brass is old and mixed on the number of firings.
