[QUOTE="Warren Barrett, post: 28319, member: 497"] T Sharps, it`s really according to the velocity you`re wanting to achieve and whether or not you`re wanting to fireform your brass.If another 150 fps in velocity or more is wanted, and fireforming is not a problem, then the 6.5 Gibbs(improved 6.5-06 with 35 degree shoulder) would be a great choice. Then again, the Ackley may not be a bad choice either with only maybe a couple grains of powder falling short of the Gibbs. Your choice of parts should work just fine. The 1 in 8 twist will work great for 120 - 140 gr. bullets, especially the 140`s. I have a 6.5 Gibbs that was rechambered from the 6.5-06 and love it for the added velocity and less case stretch.
