[QUOTE="outofayr, post: 886322, member: 13568"] Bob: I have a 6.5-06AI built on a VZ-24 that I use for deer hunting. I'm sure it'd work fine on yotes, but I usually take my 22-6mm, 22-250, or 223 when calling song dogs. In my rifle, I shoot the 140SST over H4831SC at about 2950 fps. I can get more velocity than that, but that's the sweet spot for accuracy with my rifle. That load just HAMMERS the deer. Everything I've shot with it so far has moved <20 yds after the shot, with many of them DRT. It's a little flatter shooting than a 25-06, but does have slightly more recoil. I'd still consider it fairly mild, more of a muzzle bounce than a strong recoil. With the accuracy load at 2950, I don't think I'd do an AI on this one again (except I have the dies for it:rolleyes:).... Have fun, Brian [/QUOTE]
