[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 339581, member: 13833"] I don't know if you are interested, but I recently built EXACTLY what you are describing! I too shot a 25-06 for years and then a 6.5-06 A.I. for many more (same reason you gave for B.C.) I recently shot out that barrel and rebarreled with my own design. It has identical case capacity as the Gibbs and WSM, but with a much better neck and overall design. I can reach 3200 with a (26") barrel but case life and accuracy are better at 3100-3150. You could reach 3250 with a 28" and over 3300 with a 30" Parent case is a .270 W and case life and accuracy are great! It's called a 6.5-Sherman if you are interested...Rich:D [/QUOTE]
