[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 2220756, member: 86754"] I started with the X, then the "improved" X with secant ogive, then the XBT and XLC, TSX and TTSX. I used the XLC before the LEE FCD was available. To get any real speed with the 185 XLC in a 338WM, I had to really compress the powder ( R19 was the worst) I had to settle on H4350 and about 3000 fps (killed my elk at 250yds). As mentioned they are so slick, some cases can't push them fast enough. I used the 50XLC in a .221 Fireball carbine for a shoat. It made a 50 cal hole through both shoulders. Apples/oranges. Today, if I were to work up a load with anything in XLC, I would use the LEE FCD and crimp the devil out of them, with any powder I tried! Good luck, they are deadly.....IF you can get them to shoot, ha. [/QUOTE]
