[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 89378, member: 10"] Arthurj, The 6.5-06 is a great cartridge but personally I would go with the AI version with its sharper shoulder. Barrel life is not much differnet if any then the standard round and case life is longer. To load all you have to do is seat a 6.5mm Boattail bullet in a 25-06 case, fire and out comes a 6.5-06 AI. It offers nearly 264 Win Mag performance with barrel life nearly the same as the 6.5-06. I have built several of these and all have been exceptional shooters. My personal rifle, first one I ever built was on a commerical Mauser 98 receiver and its an honest 1/2 moa rifle even with a cheap A&B barrel(started with cheap barrels just in case [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!). My personal rifle loves the 142 gr ULD RBBT loaded to 3025 fps. Not a max load but very consistant and accurate and performance on deer size game out to 1/2 mile is impressive. I would agree with the stated comments that the standard 6.5-06 is a better choice then the 6.5-270 simply from a economical stand point. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
