Re: 6XC
Yes, but I've run out of AMax's and am now using Nosler 105gr RDF's seated @ 2.71"oal. My Blaser seems to like anything 105gr and powder charges of 38.5-39.5gr's w/appropriate powders, IMR4350, VVN550, RL16-17, etc. I get faster velocities with VVN550 & RL17 but since I have a pot full of IMR4350 that's what I'm using until it's gone.

Re: 6XC
Thanks for the detailed reply mate, really appreciate it.
I have not done any reloading with my 6XC yet but intend too soon and was just looking for a place to start with 2209 and 105 Bergers.
Looks like 39 grains is a good starting point for my R8.
