[QUOTE="liltank, post: 353263, member: 13275"] The thing with the 6mm Acklies and the 6.5-06 are such that they burn barrels. The AI's are going to give you 500rnds of .25MOA accuracy and fall off from there. They offer really flat trajectories but at the price of the barrel life. From there you will get 1 to 3/4MOA or less to around 1200rnds then it is a gamble as to how long it lasts after that. Remember, more powder= more heat+high velocities= limited barrel life. So here are some thoughts. There is the 6x47 Lapua and the 6.5x47 Lapua. Both of these calibers have proven to have excellent qualities in accuracy and the speed you desire. A ruff guesstimate of barrel life should be around 2500 to 3000 rounds. It could be higher and they perform well with lighter to medium weight bullets in there perspective calibers. Some other options may be the 260 Remington or the 7mm-08. The .308 is always a good option using the 110 V-max. The .308 should get you roughly 5000+ rnds of good accuracy and set up correctly give you speeds of 3200 to 3300 fps. Of the ones you picked, I would choose the 25-06. You will be able to run the 75grn V-max well over 3400fps and get decent barrel life. It will be explosive and flat. The trajectory will really nose dive and get pushed by wind right around 600yrds, but will be fun to shoot. I have used the 25-06 with results in deer season and have no problems promoting its ability. Tank [/QUOTE]
