[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1893962, member: 85987"] I built a 6.5/06ai on a 27" 7.5tw. It ran the 147@ 3120 and the 150smk @3110 in it's node. I saw pressure just under 3200fps with Rl26. I sold it at 68 rounds so it sped up some. The current owner is running H 1000 with the 150smk @ 3084fps. ES is 3fps over 5 shots. He ran Rl26 for the first 250 rds but didn't like the fact the throat was moving more than he liked. H1000 and the 150smk shoot incredible but he will see a shiny spot on his brass on occasion. Rl 26 doesn't show the same pressure at faster speeds. I think VV 170 would shoot the same as H1000 with the same stability without the pressure or wear as Rl26. I don't think VV170 will shoot quite as fast as Rl26. VV570 is double based so although fast speeds might happen so will accelerated barrel wear brought on by the double based powder. Good luck if 3100fps is the goal longer barrels and shorter barrel life will work in the AI version. The Sherman versions, the saum or wsm would be a better choice. As would an RPM, 264mag, or another magnum wildcat. [/QUOTE]
