[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1303332, member: 97196"] This is my current go-to combination for my 6.5-06 with a 24" 1:8 twist barrel. 142gr LR Accubond, 1/3 MOA (at 300 yards) with 59grs of Retumbo, CCI 200 primers, 0.015 off lands at 3130 fps. Using necked down Lapua 30-06 cases (2.490", necks turned). Please don't assume this load will be possible in all circumstances but I was able to work up to this load. I'm not going to say there are no pressure signs but the cases do not stick and I have fired some of the cases 5 times; holding up well and primer pockets still tight. The reason I stay here is this is a very consistent round for me and has proven extremely reliable on dropping deer at longer ranges. At this twist rate and velocity the advertised BC is very close in my experience. This is strictly a hunting rifle so I am not too concerned with barrel life but it is commonly borrowed by friends/family throughout the hunting seasons because it has been so reliable. [/QUOTE]
