[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1434443, member: 55944"] I really wanted a 6.5-06 or the ackley version of the same, until my hunting partner built one. His was plain 6.5-06, which He promptly sent out and paid several hundred dollars to have a custom load worked up for it. They sent it back with 100rds of ammo and said the rifle’s best accuracy was at 2750ish fps with 140class bullets. I wasn’t impressed with creedmoor velocity out of a long action wildcat. It has taken me several years to come back around to the idea of a hotrod 6.5. I am currently building a 6.5-284 and purchased a barrel for a 6.5 saum. I think these two calibers offer a really great balance between velocity and practicality. [/QUOTE]
