[QUOTE="rugers, post: 1894053, member: 61920"] I built one two years ago, 3rd one i have built, if you go with a 26" barrel with a 1 in 8 twist you can get close to 264 win mag velocity with the strait 6.5/06 every one ive owned shot sub moa and they all liked Imr 4350. I would strongly suggest you go with 25/06 brass and size it up. I like the 140 gr bullets for deer but use 120 grn for coyotes and prairie dogs, of all the wild cat rounds the 6.5/06 is the one that should have been turned into a factory round. There deadly accurate and dont burn barrels like the 264 win mag. Hope you have fun with it. [/QUOTE]
