[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 88280, member: 8947"] [b]Re: Building a \"cheap\" 6mm-06 Ackley out of a M-98 Mauser[/b] Consider data from the 240 Weatherby as the case capacity is almost identical to the 6-06. Just the freebore/throat dimensions may be different. Also, have a look at the 6-284. Very similar capacities so performance is the same ballpark. Big limiting factor to your quest is the roughness of the bore. A&B barrels do shoot very well but are rough. Rough meaning quite a bit of machine marks BELOW the surface. A few rough spots above. They may not tolerate the super velocites you are looking for. If not, I would suggest doing some hand lapping using JB bore polishing compound on a tight patch followed up by reg. JB. That usually does the trick. I really like the Vmax bullets and 70 or 87gr bullet should go poof really well at these velocities. They also tolerate very high velocities well. I have used military actions for many of my past projects and they work very well. Good luck... Jerry [/QUOTE]
