[QUOTE="Weatherby Fan, post: 1438353, member: 29953"] I really wanted to build a 6.5-06 and more so AI version, but....... 1- I like to grab a couple boxes of factory ammo and go shooting/hunting 2-for ease of resale as not everyone handloads so I like all my custom builds to have access to factory ammo 3- I really don't want to get into fire forming cases, maybe when Im retired Ill want a hobby like that....... so I went with the 6.5-284 Norma and so far I'm loving it, very accurate, low recoil, no feeding issues at all, built on a Husqvarna H5000 (HVA) action, it has the same ballistics as the 6.5-06 A-Square and of course gives up the usual 100-150fps to the Ackley version. For myself the labour of love wasn't worth going that route yet, but the 6.5-06AI sure peaks my interest as the 280AI is my go to hunting cartridge/rifle I am surprised with the love affair of 6.5 cartridges lately that no ammo company has mainstreamed the 6.5-06 Ackley ?
