6mm XC Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 6mm XC with the free, in-browser MyLoads internal-ballistics simulator. The figures below are illustrative estimates from a physics model — not a recommended recipe. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

6mm XC reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)4,400 BAR
Nominal case capacity49.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.244 in (6.20 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Sierra 6mm 243 Caliber (.243) 110 gr HPBT-CN MatchKing
Powder
Shooters World Sw4350 S070-05
Charge
38 gr
Barrel
24 in

Muzzle velocity

2,744 fps

Peak chamber pressure (interval, ±10% burn-rate)

40,894 – 51,348 – 63,441 psi

nominal is 80% of the 63,817 psi maximum average pressure

Illustrative example — every figure here is an estimate and can be wrong. Always consult a current published loading manual, and never trust these numbers on their own.
