[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 13320, member: 10"] I have a 1-9 twist 6.5-06 AI which shoots the 104 gr A-Max bullets into the .3's at 3050 fps. It also groups the old 155 gr SMK's into the same size groups at 2970 fps. With the 120 gr Ballsitic Tip it will run real hard at 3300 fps with 1/2 moa groups. Did I mention this is the first rifle I ever built. It is on a commercial Mauser 98 and an Adams and Bennett barrel. Yes an A&B. This was a practice rifle but it shot so well, I still have it to this day and at 500 yards it will average under 2" for five shots. Not to bad for an $80 barrel, still I do nto recommend them to my customers as some are quite poor in bore finish. The 6.5-06 AI is a hell of a round. Just a little more fps then the 6.5-284 and in a quality machined barrel, it will run real close to the 284 version in accuracy and consistancy. GOod Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
