[QUOTE="bounty hunter 2, post: 2923758, member: 90711"] I bought a set of 6.5x06 Ackley dies in a pawn shop and kept them for 35 years before I finally got to build the rifle for them. I wanted to build the rifle to shoot as fast as possible with one single bullet the Hornady 100 grain eld. This was to be a coyote rifle for shots as far as to 800 yards. I went with a Pak-Nor 28" with 1/10" twist. I was hoping for 3500 fps but my expectations were exceeded and reached 3690 fps with 60.5gn IMR-4359. That load proved too hot because after three loads the primer pockets are getting noticeably loose, Backing down to the 3500 fps I had hoped for has everything normal and accuracy. First shot at hair was a rock chuck at 600 yards and it still spread that chuck all over even at the fairly long 600 yard range. The rifle serves its build purpose for long range coyote shooting but to salvage the hides they have to be not nearer than 400 yards. [/QUOTE]
