[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1368191, member: 97414"] I'm a 30/06 dude threw and threw. When the day comes, I see a 6.5-/06 A Square Two things come to mind going this route. Soft pet loads for National match shooting, then load hot for game Harvesting. Kinda like a win win. 142 gr'ers pet loads are 44.5gr's, 2635ft-per seconds (Classed as Most Accurate),,, the hot loads are 48.5gr's for 2810ft-per seconds. RL-powder will push the 142's to 2930. Best of both worlds at ones choosing. Low recoil for accuracy is key. If I was to pick build a more consistent accurate load over that I'd brake all the rules to find a """fraction"'" slower burn rate powder to get powder case volume into the 92 to 94% bullet just touching charge with the least amount of neck tension with CCI BR primers. Being that I'd do a custom barrel, I would ream out the throat a bit so the bullet can sit out further in the neck. Good luck on your planning since your options are endless.
