[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2190751, member: 116439"] As of 2011, A-Square listed two different rifles factory chambered in 6.5-06 A-Square; the Hamilcar and the Genghis Khan.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6.5-06_A-Square#cite_note-3'][3][/URL] Several of the major custom barrel manufacturers offer the 6.5-06 A-Square (sometimes listed simply as 6.5-06) chamber as an option for builders of custom rifles. However, On 15 February 2012, the A-Square Company ceased to exist. The .30-06 Springfield is the parent case of the .25-06, 6.5mm-06 and the .270 Winchester, all of which are similar both ballistically and visually. Had the 6.5mm-06 been commercially adopted first, the other two would not have been necessary. In fact, the 6.5mm-06 remained a wildcat until 1997, when it was SAAMI standardized by A-Square. 6.5mm-06 brass and cartridges are available from A-Square. Brass can also be easily produced by necking-up the .25-06 Remington case to accept .264" (6.5mm) diameter bullets. The .25-06 uses .257" bullets, so one pass of a .25-06 case through a 6.5mm-06 resizing die should do the job. .25-06 brass is widely distributed, a convenience for 6.5mm-06 reloaders. An alternative to necking-up the .25-06 case is necking down the .270 Winchester case and trimming to length. .30-06 cases can also be used to form 6.5mm-06 brass. [/QUOTE]
