[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2401877, member: 60453"] It probably does, but I can make 25-06 and 6.5-280AI from brass picked up off the range. Most of my 25-06 brass is necked down and trimmed 270 win brass, and its free. Most of my -06 brass is range brass, and its free. Also, if I ever get to go to Alaska, and lost my ammunition, I can buy 30-06, 300WinMag, 35 Whelen and such at a store. I can buy -06 in Macedonia, for that matter. Also, when did the Sherman get made from a base 30-06 casing? The 264 magnum also thumps the 6.5-280 AI, but the blog isn't about what beats the -06 wildcats. Its about your favorite wildcat made on the -06 case. I'm a big fan of the .35 Whelen as a wildcat from the -06.
