[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1218013, member: 12995"] I personally don't care for the standard .25-06 either. Too soft on the shoulder angle and body taper...Same goes for a lot of other old school cartridges out there. That's why I love the AI versions...It brings the old school up to modern times. Also, I have yet to see a .243 push a 115 grain bullet to remotely near 3,400 fps. I definitely haven't seen a 6.5 Creed or 7mm-08 come remotely close, and most I've seen wouldn't even break 3,000... I have seen a .260 Rem pushing the line, and definitely seen several .260 AI's that crossed the threshold but were still just barely on the other side of the 3K mark. That's a far cry from 3,400 fps. So they definitely are not "doing the same thing". They might be used in the same way, but they're not the same thing. That's about like saying an irish potato and a sweet potato are the same exact thing, because they're both potatoes... [/QUOTE]
