[QUOTE="RJ338, post: 211191, member: 10046"] You don't have to change the chambering as 6.5-06 is great though a new SS 1-8 or 9 twist tube in a #3 or 4 contour would help. Many older guns weren't of a fast enough twist. You want to start your son off with 100gr. Partitions and as he grows and the game gets larger you can go to 125gr. Part or 130gr. Accubonds. If in the future larger game is on the menu, there are 140gr Part or A-frames ready. Just make sure you match a good barrel and someone who knows how to install one, not do a plumbing job(no disrespect to plumbers, just respect to good smiths).You will only be giving up 100-200 fps and gaining a much easier time downloading for loads when starting out. Just MHO, enjow the time with your son. [/QUOTE]
