6XC or 243

Some of the new/newer powders are doing really cool things, with regard to increased FPS but keep in mind, none of them can perform miracles and if it sounds to good to be true, well, chances are it is.
 
I have both.
6XC.
Go with a 7.5 twist.
An 8T will work fine too.

I do reload and I see Norma makes 6XC brass. I have been reloading for the 243 already. I have to stay with. 6mm since I have a can for it on the way.
 
For those of you loading the 6XC. Where can I find a good source of load data? I have been looking online but I haven't found much.
 
A load that works really well in most 6XC's is 38.5 H-4350, (I use a Fed. match primer) with a 105/107.
I use 38.0 grain of H-4350 with a 105 Hybrid in another 6XC.
Both shoot lights out.

Agreed. Just prefer the XC because of the better brass

My reason for the x47Lapua option.
