[QUOTE="c_bass16, post: 667327, member: 20355"] Kirby, it's clear that you know your stuff here. Is there any measurable difference in barrel life between the 6-06 and the 06AI? I'm not overly concerned with it, or I wouldn't choose the caliber...but I would like to get as many as possible. The speed available in the 6-06 is plenty for me...but I thought I had read the AI shoulder can yield longer barrel life with the same or even increased speed. Was that a dream I had? I understand by going AI, it will straiten the case walls, removing the taper, and in essence...make the internal mag stagger goofy. I can see how that would suck, but I plan on shooting 105-115gr bullets...I've got two other .243 cal rifles for the small varmint bullets. The internal box of my M70 looks like it can take an OAL of 3.630...so even the 115 bullets should have plenty of room. [/QUOTE]
