[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 388944, member: 2215"] I really like the 6.5-.284 for wood chucks out to 1000 plus yards, deer out to 800 yards and paper punching at whatever range. It's max range on deer for me is 800 yards due to being just about 900 ft/lbs at that distance. This would make a very fine deer cartridge. Not much recoil, good out to the distance you mentioned, HSM [url=http://www.snipercentral.com/shop/index.php?cPath=94_105]sniperstore[/url] and I believe nosler makes factory ammo if needed, but handloads with 140g A-Max works very well on deer and chucks. Not much would have to be done to change your 30-06 into a 6.5-.284. Blueprint the action, install a Holland recoil lug, New Barrel (Kreiger, Brux, ect.). If the rifle is in a plastic factory stock replace it with a fiberglass or laminate one and have it pillar bedded and the barrel free floated. You can re-use the factory trigger for now to save some $$ but I'd have a jewel put in it maybe later if not during the build process. Your only looking at about $750 invested to have a new barrel installed, have the action blueprinted, trigger adjusted and a holland lug. Stock prices vary greatly depending on what you want and like. [/QUOTE]
