[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1381726, member: 68875"] I have done load development for 2 different 6.5-06AI (one was actually a 6.5-.270AI). 140-142 SMK, HVLD or Hybrids can be shot at 3100-3150fps from a 24-26" barrel with relative ease, and not run so hot that brass life is severely effected. Acccuracy was fantastic in both the rifles I shot after development was complete. I think with proper bullet placement, it would make a fine mid-range elk rifle out to 700 or so. Deer and antelope should fall from the round easily out to 900-1000, again, with proper shot placement. I have hadand shot a few different Ackley cartridges. Love them. .250AI, .25-06AI, 6.5-06AI, .270AI, .280AI, .30-06AI. Been thinking about building a fast twist .22-250AI for a while now. [/QUOTE]
