Peterson 40042-R 6Xc Srp 50/10
Peterson Cartridge's 6XC SRP brass is built for handloaders chasing consistency and precision. This is small rifle primer brass manufactured to match-grade standards—meaning every case from Peterson's batch production lines goes through rigorous quality control before it reaches your bench. If you're loading for 6XC competitions, long-range hunting, or target work where case uniformity directly impacts downrange performance, this brass is designed to keep variables to a minimum.
The 6XC is a popular choice among precision rifle shooters because it offers excellent capacity and efficient powder burn characteristics in a compact, modern package. Peterson's commitment to match-grade production means you're getting cases selected and inspected to eliminate the weak links—variations in thickness, hardness, and concentricity—that can throw off your groups or reduce component life.
One important detail for reloaders: Peterson's SRP (Small Rifle Primer) cases feature a 0.060" flash hole diameter, smaller than the 0.080" hole in their large rifle primer brass. That means you'll need an X-small or undersized decapping pin when processing these cases. It's a small detail that matters when you're setting up your progressive press or single-stage for a new caliber.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special decapping pin for Peterson 6XC SRP brass?
Yes. Peterson's SRP cases use a 0.060" flash hole, which is smaller than standard large rifle primer brass. You'll need an X-small or undersized decapping pin to safely process these cases without damaging the flash hole.
What makes Peterson match-grade brass different?
Peterson's match-grade standard applies rigorous quality control throughout their small-batch production process. Each case is inspected for consistency in thickness, hardness, and other variables that affect handloading reliability and accuracy.
Is this brass suitable for long-range competition or hunting?
Yes. The 6XC is a popular caliber for precision rifle work, and Peterson's match-grade brass is designed to support that level of reloading consistency. Case uniformity translates directly to more predictable ballistics downrange.
How much brass is in a box?
Each box contains 50 cases, packaged as 10 packs of 5 for organization and inventory management on your reloading bench.
