[QUOTE="Nimrod1203, post: 524665, member: 35129"] LOL, well that shows you how much i have to learn. For some reason i was thinking the bolt face had to be larger for the 6.5x284 case... For starting out, i think the lighter recoil may help me learn better long range habbits? that is my theory anyways. I grew up shooting a .270 exclusively, but we handloaded 90 grain hollowpoints to about 3600 fps for small Arkansas deer. I'm kinda thinking for starting out, i'd like to try the 06 for the 115 gr. I've heard good things. And then i'll buy/build a big game someday...something either 6.5x284 or just a good ole 300 win mag. I'm not real keen on the short mags, due to case life. I'm also hoping someday to have an Ackley, but thats a future project. Maybe turn my 25-06 into an ackley on down the road. I dunno....It's taken me three years to commit to this. Nimrod [/QUOTE]
