[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 3083341, member: 122164"] With the 6.5/06 having little to no following, I tried one. 127-129's at 3150 and 147's at 3000 fps(lapua brass vs 2900 with Winchester brass) on a 26" barrel is real world on an 8T. Add approximately 150 fps for the AI version. The 260 AI approaches the 6.5/06, but just can't quite get there, but both are exceptional in terms of accuracy. Another '06 case that has little to no following is the std 280 Rem. I have been shooting the 160-168g bullets at 2900 in this case for 25+ years with IMR 7828 with Federal 210's, only a smidge of powder.
