[QUOTE="loaders_loft, post: 353539, member: 10540"] no problemo, Liltank:D. It really was interesting for me too, running the numbers. Really, its a wonder the 6.5-06 never took off commercially... As far as using a long action for a 6x47, that might be tough. Its a shorter casing than a 308 even, similar to a 22-250 case. Seems like the cartridges would tilt & bind in the mag box, but who knows. One way to find out, would be, test some 22-250 cartridges in a 30-06 mag box. Don't fire, of course, just try cycling. Maybe someone will step in and say this is a bad idea and unsafe, but I'm not saying trying to fire them, just put them in and try to cycle them out.:rolleyes: by the way, I wouldn't advise anyone to spend much time in a PD town with a 6.5-06 or a 25-06. With unlimited target opportunities, that thing would be hot in a heartbeat! If anything, a short string and then put it away and go back to the varmint rigs, 223's or 22-250's and such...lightbulb then again, I've heard its okay to get your barrel VERY hot shooting varmints, because that's what gunsmiths are for!!gun) [/QUOTE]
