[QUOTE="Ward Thurman, post: 2114318, member: 109209"] We already have a 6.5x284 Norma (my son's) so we would like something different and nifty, but not too outrageous. I have studied the regular books for the std 30-06 vis the 300 win mag and with 180 gr bullets, I don't see you gain that much with a 300 win mag. That's why we are thinking the '06 Ackley improved - you are almost at 300 win mag and burning a lot less powder to do it. I think the advice to use a lengthened chamber on an '06 is not going to work for the reason you mention above; I don't think the rounds would fit in and feed from the magazine. My son with the deer he killed this last fall with the 6.5x284. 350 yard shot. Deer was dead before he heard the report of the rifle. This is an off-the-shelf used Savage. With my handloads it is sub-MOA. Sweet. Tks for the info. Love it all. [/QUOTE]
