[QUOTE="liltank, post: 638282, member: 13275"] 6XC in a 28" 1:7 twist. You can use 115 DTAC, JLK, or Berger bullets. 38.5 grains of H4350 seems to be the standard, but RL17 can also be used. I would read the article below, and go to Tubb's sight and check out what he has to offer for components and information. It is just as good as the .243Win, but better on barrels and very accurate. This was designed by David Tubb and has won some high power competitions with it. No shame in this round and will put the smack down on yotes and vermin. You could probably even use this for deer to around 600-700yds with good shot placement.
