[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1434434, member: 68875"] I have shot two different 6.5-06AI (one was actually a 6.5-.270AI). Amazing round. I was getting 3140 from a 142 SMK in one, and 3150 from a 140 HVLD in the other. Both amazing accuracy. Both using H1000, so by going to RL23 or RL26, I am betting I could have gotten 3200+ from either. I loaded up a buddy's .264WM last year. 130 HVLD @ 3210 w. H1000 again. Shoots in the .2s from a factory Sendero with just a new Timney CE trigger swap. If it would have had a 1:8", I would have opted for a 140. I own a 6 5SS and a 6.5 SLR. Both are amazing short action rounds. I don't think a long action would help either of these. But the 6.5SS is probably faster than a 6.5-.284 could hope for w. 140 @ 3200+, and a 150 SMK @ 3156. I think my 6.5SLR has to be close too. 2960 w. 140 HVLD run hot. I have also loaded for a couple 6.5 SAUM. 140s @ 3135/3150 w. H1000...again. I am about to start load development on a 6.5-.284 Norma in a week or two. I am anxious to try it out and see where it falls in the grand scheme of 6.5 things. [/QUOTE]
