[QUOTE="sewwhat89, post: 84825, member: 4587"] I have no intention of ever selling off any of my rifles. I will recycle them into new creations! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I like the semi-exotic stuff. I want something a little different but not a crazy in-depth amalgamation. I was under the impression that a true AI round, you could shoot factory ammo to fireform your brass and go from there. That was my plan at least. Basically, I have a .25-06 that is my meat gun. There are no circumstances in East TX that I can encounter on my lease that it will not perform to perfection. It has accounted for several freezer restockings over the years. When it poops out, I want to rebarrel it to a 25-06AI, but for right now, I want to make a new "meat-gun" with a little more umph and flair. None of my hunting buddies understand my desire to spend several hundred dollars to remake a gun only to border-line abuse it. The rifle will be used in the worst conditions East TX can offer, make excursions in excess of 30 feet into pine trees and bust caps at careless piggies. I know I could save a lot of money and just use my 270 I already own for the same purpose, but that is not what I want. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I guess I still have the old timer's hang-up on the 6.5s. On paper, they almost appear too good to be true.
