[QUOTE="dogz, post: 1859114, member: 5429"] I've been around the 6.5/06 quite a bit since the late 80's. Probably 8 or so different barrels (between friends and I) from 23"-26". Fun round, pretty much a 270 to 500 yards give or take. Beyond that the 6.5/06 will distance itself. I've seen more popped primers with this round than all other rounds put together. Mainly with a friend trying to get to certain speed levels. Keep in mind this was before R17, R26 and other miracle powders of this day. But, what we found was that in running 140's with the 23-24" barrels that 2850 was about the threshold for accuracy and pressures. As for what we hunted with it, anything that moves in Mt. For me, there isn't anything in NA that I wouldn't take on with it. But then again I feel that way with most all 06 based rounds:) Enjoy your 6.5 [/QUOTE]
