The .33 XC: A New Horizon in Extreme Long Range Shooting

The .33 XC caliber, a groundbreaking innovation in the Extreme Long Range (ELR) shooting domain, is the result of a collaboration between the legendary shooter David Tubb and Peterson Cartridge. This new caliber is designed to surpass the capabilities of the .338 Lapua Magnum, offering less body taper, a steeper shoulder angle, and an increased capacity for powder, thus enabling shooters to achieve greater distances with higher precision.

The Birth of .33 XC

Developed by David Tubb, a renowned figure in long-distance competitive shooting, the .33 XC was created to meet the demands of the ELR community. TubbÕs expertise and vision for a caliber that could push the limits of long-range shooting led to the design of the .33 XC, catering to shooters looking to extend their reach beyond what the .338 Lapua Magnum can offer.

Key Features of the .33 XC

• Enhanced Design: Shares the head and base diameter of a .338 Lapua Magnum but with significant improvements to the body taper and shoulder angle for better performance.
• Increased Capacity: The longer body holds more powder, enabling higher velocities and flatter trajectories for ELR shooting.
• Rechambering Potential: Owners of .338 Lapua Magnum rifles can rechamber their firearms to .33 XC with a chamber reamer provided by Tubb, transforming their gun into an ELR powerhouse.

Peterson CartridgeÕs Role in .33 XC Development

Derek Peterson, the head of Peterson Cartridge, collaborated with David Tubb to produce the casings for the .33 XC. Known for their high-quality brass used in winning several King-of-2-Mile competitions, Peterson Cartridge has cemented its reputation in the ELR community as a provider of casings that support record-setting long-distance shots.

Achievements and Recognition

The .33 XC has already proven its mettle in the ELR world. David Tubb himself set a new ELR Cold Bore world record with the .33 XC, hitting a target at 2,200 yards. This achievement, attested to by the FCSA, underscores the .33 XC's potential to redefine the boundaries of precision shooting.
