[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1274018, member: 22069"] Looks like the dies from CH4D are pretty reasonably priced for two die sets, putting the Ackley dies within your stated price range. For your stated purposes, and given that you want to use Hornady bullets, I would go with either the standard 6.5-06 or the AI version, go heavy on the bullets (the 147 ELD-X would seem to be the way to go), and a bit light on the throttle. That should enable you to use one load for everything. Given your modest range requirements, you could even lean more toward controlled expansion bullets than toward high bc's and have no need to go light on the throttle. For example, a 140 Partition would easily do all that you need, near or far. [/QUOTE]
