[QUOTE="Lab rat, post: 1903883, member: 110649"] So 10 years ago I built my first custom gun it was a 260 Remington and from day one I fell in love with the 26 caliber shooting the 129 sst every deer I pointed it at it dispatched them quick and humanly from distances of 50 yds to 300yds then Hornady came out with the 143 ELD X so I wanted to build a gun around that bullet with the idea of keeping the reloading simple so I decided to build a 6.5/06 and boy am I glad I did after testing different powders I've settled on RL-26 with the 143 ELD X and Fed 215 primers with a velocity of 3000 fps if someone was to ask me of all the guns I have to chose 1 what would it be it is definitely the 6.5/06 anyone looking to building a custom deer gun Please take a good look at this Cartridge. Action. Remington 700 DM (Blue Printed) Barrel. 26" Lilja Trigger. Timiny Stock. Bell & Carlson [/QUOTE]
