6XC for long range varmints.

Getting built a 6xc based on a 700 rem short action with a 28" krieger 1/8 twist barrel ,for some long range varmint shooting .Should be finished in the next few weeks so will post up pictures and accuracy results .Has anyone else used the Tubbs caliber for a varmint setup?

Re: .257 weatherby or .270WSM

Varminting - as in prairie dogs? First - price what a box of new ammo will cost you. If you reload, price what a 200 rounds of brass will cost.
