[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 271022, member: 7999"] I am not sure if the ackley on the 6.5-06 is worth the trouble. From what I understand from when I had mine built last year, the ackley version of this caliber is the least efficient of the ackleys. My buddy just built one in the ackley. He's getting 3180fps out of the 140 Bergers. Not grouping well yet, so that number may or may not hold. He is also running a 28" barrel. The one I had built will run the 130g Scirroco up near 3100fps. Just did some quick calcs on the JBM. At 3050fps the Scirroco will hold better than 1800fps out to 900yrds and better than 1700fps out to 1000yrds. More than enough for deer out to a 1000yrds. My son shot his cow elk last fall w/ the Scirroco at 375yrds. Broke both heavy shoulder bones and took the lungs on the way through. Bullet had 82% weight retention. This is a very potent combo. Hope this helps you. Steve [/QUOTE]
