[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1808703, member: 3728"] A World Class gunsmith that loves the 6.5/06 told me the cartridge loves the R#22, and my rifle is extremely accurate with the 130g accubond (52g)and the 140g SST, tiny groups! I fired 60 or so rounds working up loads with both of these bullets, then just hunt/verify zero. I use Winchester 25/06 brass, Expand necks with K&M expanders, do not turn necks. I expect that R#23, Endron equalivant, and N160 would do very, very well also. Groups with both of these bullets are so small they are not even a clover leaf. My rifle is set up for long range with a #6 contour that is 26" long. When I run out of R#22, I will move on. I love the COAL length to touch the lands/Rem 700 Mag length, plenty of room to chase the lands. Nephews love this rifle because it, "Does not Kick". The heavier barrel plus the Gentry muzzle break makes recoil just about a non issue. [/QUOTE]
