[QUOTE="B23, post: 364633, member: 13222"] Is there much to be gained with the 6.5-06AI over the non improved? Everything I have read seems to be 6 one way half a dozen the other. What kind of honest FPS gains is there with the Ackley improved? I've read it's only about 50fps on the average over the non improved. Is that correct? I don't remember exactly but the Lilja tube I ordered is either a #4 or 5. I'm trying to make a nice relatively light weight deer gun. Will most likely be about 25in + 1in break. Why do you use 270win brass and trim? Why not use Lapua 30-06 brass? I would think a extra necking down step would be easier than trimming all your brass. Is neck thickness the concern? My only concern is reliable feeding with the 6.5-284. If this can be obtained, 6.5-284 sure seems like the best choice to me. [/QUOTE]
