[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1247690, member: 7999"] Straight 6.5-06 is no slouch. I would consider it an upper end of the 6.5's. You could AI it pretty easy, although I do not think you will gain much. My son's 6.5-06 in a 24" barrel is running the 124g Hammer Hunter at 3160fps very nicely. Gets him to 800y still maintaining 1900fps. Have not had time to see what we can really make this rifle do, maybe after this hunting season. It is limited by having an 8.5" twist so we will not run a heavier Hammer in it. Although we are working on a 131g designed for 9" twist. Will see what that one can do. Steve [/QUOTE]
