[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1398812, member: 12995"] Yes, go .25-06 AI 40º...But I recommend a fluted stainless 26" Rem Varmint/Sendero contour barrel. The AI version is worth the effort, and worth the price of a set of dies. The brass growth is minimal, brass longevity is good, the velocity boost is nice, and fire-forming is simple when using .270 Win brass, and Nosler or Lapua .270 Win brass is available. I can give you some tips & tricks for fire-forming if you go the AI route. I use Redding dies Part #: 84422, and they're actually on sale at Midway USA right now, for nearly half-price.
