[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 734715, member: 42308"] All of those are great choices. Strong arguments can be made for each one. I have a 6.5-06 that I dearly love. I am rebarreling it into a 6.5-06AI with a 28" pipe and a 8 twist. 6.5-06AI can be made from either 270 Winchester or 25-06 Remington. Simple process to load for 6.5-06. I prefer 270 and trimming to length as 25-06 brass ends up being a little short when necking it up. i have found that 25-06 brass doesn't last as well because it usually starts out about 2.77" to 2.82" and stretches every firing until I pitch it when it gets thin above the web. To go from "standard" to AI just then a trip to the range to fire form into AI. I fire form brass for my 30-338 Winchester using the COW method so I don't even waste a bullet. Or just load a mid-range load and punch some paper. My second choice would be the creedmoor then 6.5-284 Norma. Choose the one you like and enjoy shooting it. [/QUOTE]
