[QUOTE="JSHKS, post: 1365081, member: 103581"] Quite a bit late, but if your like me it takes some time to get things together. I started off with a 270, went to 130's because that is what your supposed to use. Had that rifle for a long time. Got tired of "loaning" ammo to guys. A Remington 700 came up for cheap and I snagged it. A year later the 270 was gone. I tinkered with loads for the 25-06 quite a while. I ended up with a Hornady bullet and AA3100(now discontinued). I have enough loaded to last me a life time of hunting. I shoot one shot out of a fouled cold barrel once a year before season. It has been DRT. It is running 2900 and change, I opted for the accuracy rather than the speed. As mentioned bullet selection is thin compared to others. That can be good or bad, however you want to look at it. If I had to build one, I myself would stay with a standard. If your going to use it a bunch by all means go the AI. I am curious as to what folks are getting in speed from a standard chamber compared to an AI, when equal amounts of powder are used. I throw this in because my 30-06AI went backwards. A fair bit more powder to get to equal speed of a standard 06. It shines with 180 and heavier. Go to a 165 and it's a wash. Jeff [/QUOTE]
