[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1290821, member: 12193"] It's a version of the 6.5-06 improved. The shoulder is moved forward a bit so capacity is about as high as you can go with the '06 case. Between the 6mm and 6.5 I would for sure do the 6.5 if you're chasing deer. A regular old 6.5-06 is a pretty feisty cartridge if you give it enough barrel. One of the improved versions would add some velocity, along with some other benefits and the standard headaches of a wildcat cartridge. You may also consider the 6.5-284. It uses the same bolt face as the '06 and gives performance very similar to the 6.5-06 when built on a long action. Brass and dies are readily available since this cartridge has become quite popular of late. [/QUOTE]
