[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2514364, member: 115658"] I take it this is an 03 Springfield - unique square barrel/receiver threads. The 03 was designed for what is now the .30-06 for battle use. It would feed good with .25-06, 6.5-06, .270, .30-06 & such. I don't have a 03 but my FN commercial 98's feed 6mm Rem just fine. There might be some magazine feed issues with the 6.5-06 AI. Long powder columns were not an issue when this rifle was designed. My FN 98's would not feed 6mm AI's - the shoulder of the brass bumped up against the upper receiver inner collar. [/QUOTE]
