This is a new bullet, originally crafted by Sierra for David Tubb. He used it, in a one-off 7.5 twist Schneider barrel, to win Camp Perry in 2004. But tests have shown it stabilizes just fine at 3000 fps in a 1:8 barrel. At the current time, the bullet is available only from Zediker (Superior Shooting Systems). This bullet holds the NRA National High Power Long Range Rifle record of 1450/1450 the first (and only) perfect score ever fired (2004 Camp Perry).

Reader's Notes: "I shot next to Tubbs at the RMPM in June and picked up a couple of his 115's. They look like smaller 142gr. 6.5mm's. I did some interpilation using the form factor of the 142 and came up with a BC of 0.570 compared to the 142's 0.595. This may be too heavy for the standard 6BR, but just the ticket in the 6XC and some of the improved BR's."

So how does it shoot? Amazingly well. Here is one of David's first field reports:
"Finally got an almost calm, overcast day in the Texas Panhandle. I shot the 6mmXC with the new 115gr bullet at 3020 fps (8th firing on the cases; 85 degrees) through a Scheider 5 groove, 7.5 twist polygonal, 29.5 inches long. Load was Russian primers, Hogdgon 4350, and 6XC brass with a moly-coated bullet. The group started with the first X fired -- took about 4 shots to get all centered up. We use white pasters on the black when group shooting -- it is a very good training aid since you can see all of your previous shots through a spotting scope while shooting. The group is a little taller than 6.25" elevation for 20 shots. The amazing thing to me is there are no unexplained shots with the 6XC and when you figure in the fact that I shot it prone it makes it a pretty good group. I shot one 20 shot group (same bullet, diffferent barrel) about a month ago (mid-June) that was 5.5" elevation for 20 shots -- only the wind was blowing and the windage was 15"+.
By the way, the 6mm 115gr DTAC at 3020 fps drifts about 2" less than a Sierra 142 in 6.5mm at 2950." -- David Tubb
