[QUOTE="RUFFIAN R - NY, post: 2491901, member: 121836"] the 6mm-06 AI ( which Parker A built for me ) is my LR chuck gun- Mine shoots some 250 FPS + faster than the 240 Wby, am using a SAKO SS bull bbl in 28 in and a FN Supreme 400 SS action . Brass for any WBY is expensive and some harder to find. If I had to do it again I would go with a 244AI less powder . I was going to get a 240 WBY back then and even then brass was expensive and hard to find. LC 06 Match was all over the place then built the 6mm-06 AI & the 25-06AI and love them to this day. Now doing a 6mm XC w/ 1.75.1 twist using 105 to 115 Gr and much less powder also. My 6PPC is super with the 65-70 gr range target bullets. The 243's love the 85 Gr . I don't load for velocity , I go for accuracy . Guess one can say I like the 6mm's- still have my first one a Win model 70 Pre War 243. Good luck with your next TOY !! [/QUOTE]
