[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 742136, member: 4809"] I had a custom 6.5-06 AI built specifically for the 140 gr. bullets. Barrel was a 1-in-eight twist from Lilja. Problem is...some rifles have a mind all their own. Mine likes the 130 gr. AB the best, so that is what I use. Going back through my shooting log, I found the following recipe worked well with the Berger 140 gr. bullets: 57.5 gr. of Hodgdon 1000 @ ave. 2,930 fps I tested loads up to 60.7 gr. of H 1000. Got to 3,100+ fps, but accuracy was unacceptable. Start lower and work up. Best load for 130 gr. AB = 56.2 gr. of H 4831SC @ ave. 3,120 fps [/QUOTE]
