[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 623246, member: 14209"] Nate, Those A-maxes are great, but don't overlook the 129g SST or Interbond. They'll shoot the same once you get a load developed. I did it because this rifle is purpose built for longrange Muley hunting and the Occasional Cow Elk. Some times a Bonded bullet would be needed and the SST and The Interbond are identical. They shot well out to 1000yds and still had enough energy to punch through a 6" Piece of pine Fence post. I don't have any P.O. Ackley Data, but what I've seen is really anemic and uses fast powders. The slowest powder he had was IMR 4831 at the time, so it was no suprise that he didn't think the cartridge was worth while. My 7STW is somewhat of a mystery, as I found it this last fall in a gunshop and got a smoking deal on it. It is a full blown custom but was left in it's original stock. I don't know the gun smith, but he did an outstanding job. It's a 1962 Remington 700 Action, Don't know the make of the barrel but it's 27" plus the Vias muzzle brake it has a 1-9" Twist. This is what it looked like when I got it: [ATTACH]7176.vB[/ATTACH] I have since put it into a H-S Precision Stock, I had to open up the recoil lug area and then rebed it. I also installed new bottom metal and installed the Leupold VX-3 6.5-20x50 SF with the Varmint hunters reticle using Warne Rings and Bases. (It's a great scope and works well for me at 1000yds) This is what it looks like now: [ATTACH]7178.vB[/ATTACH] Looking forward to good weather to shoot my test loads and stretch it's legs.... This is the 6.5-06 AI with the Vortex Scope: [ATTACH]7177.vB[/ATTACH] It's what my father wanted, so I installed it for him. As far as I can tell, It's a high quality scope at a wonderful price. We haven't shot it yet, but it seems promising. Since Dad is at entry level Long Range Shooting, it seemed like the best option for him. I'll update the findings after we finish getting him set up and then start letting him shoot the Longer Ranges. Later, Dan [/QUOTE]
