[QUOTE="Miller1, post: 1357832, member: 70856"] I have a custom 6.5-06 with a 22” M24 contour barrel. It’s a awesome shooter but with the A5 stock it’s in its way too heavy for hunting. I just got a McMillan Game Hunter edge tech stock that’s 26oz and picked up a Hardy Carbon Fiber 6.5mm barrel that is .930 at 24”muzzle. Since I’m going to chamber the new barrel, I was thinking about all of the possibilities. I think I’m going with the 6.5-06 AI. I have the regular 6.5-06 dies and about 3 boxes of custom Ammo and another 150 pieces of sized brass. My question is this, can I shoot my regular Ammo through the Ackley chamber and basically fire form it that way? And is there any 6.5-06 AI brass available anywhere? I have all types of 6.5 bullets. From Berger 130-140, Hornady ELD-X, Nosler 140 BT and Sierra 142 MK. I’m pretty excited about this, I just hope I’m going with the right cartridge. I want to run a 140 at least 3100 if possible.
