[QUOTE="Texas Speed Bump, post: 2399437, member: 115057"] A 50+ year old Mauser action 6.5x06 has been my go-to deer rifle for almost 45 years now and so far, it's only shot one load (ballistically speaking that is :) ) 120 grain Nosler BTs pushed by 54 grains of IMR 4350. I've chrono'd it with an average speed of 3,135 fps. I've never had a single blown case and it's always been extremely accurate out to 700 yds. Of course every rifle is different but you might note that load as a possible. I am planning to develop a load for it this summer using the Hammer bullets but have been told by the guy who built this rifle that it's very finicky in what it likes to shoot. Oh, and I've never crimped these rounds, or any other bolt gun rounds but don't have anything against crimping. I do crimp my 7.62/.308 rounds for my autoloaders though and use a Lee factory crimp for that. [/QUOTE]
