[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1739186, member: 110773"] 6.5-06AI. 24" to 26" barrel. The 6.5-06AI is extremely easy to make brass for. I use .25-06 and run it through a decap/size die. Fireform loads using Hornady max 6.5-06 loads (140 A-MAX and 49.0g H4831SC) lose about 5% MV (to 2760fps) but are very accurate and a joy to shoot. After fireforming, I get 3161fps with a 130g Scirocco II and 58.5g IMR7828SSC. Also very accurate. (80% hit rates on clay pigeons at 600 yards one day when the wind cooperated.) Krieger stainless barrel, 1-8 twist. 3075fps with 140g BT and 53.0g H100V. Can't get 140g A-MAX for fireforming anymore so I bought some 140g ELD-M. The Nosler 142g ABLR has a claimed B.C. of .625. Looking forward to trying them. You will never regret the choice. [/QUOTE]
