[QUOTE="KurtB, post: 2659091, member: 2106"] I shot out a 6.5-06 using Berger 140 VLD. Its a great round in so many areas. Mine was in a McMillan compact edge, 23" Hart #2 barrel, and built on an old lefthanded 700. It would shoot those around 2900 fps. Could get a little quicker but accuracy was there and killed all kinds of critters large and small. I'd suggest straight 6.5-06, 6.5-284(what I rebarreled to), or 6.5-280ai. Great cartridges all. The 6.5-06 at 20" would likely be doing better than 2800 fps with a 140 vld. That'll take a guy a long ways out there. [/QUOTE]
