Thread: The 6.5-06 gets an upgrade

Then you should use the same source for the 6.5-06ai data where they also show a spread from 2975 up to 3110 but I think the powder choices are poor for both cals on most of those options. Vit n165 and n560 are the 2 best from what I seen, I'v stayed with the single based n165 as its been very consistant through the seasons. Recoil? you really think you'll notice the difference between a 140 at 3100 and a 162 at 3000? Be interesting to see some psi numbers on the ackley rounds. Mines lightish I think just going on brass life as as im over 12 reloads on the nosler brass but still pushing the amax at 2925 from a 23".

All data I have seen and researched on the 65-06 standard is ridiculous compared to reality and my experience with it. The AI I doubt will be any different. They will both perform way better than any data I have seen on the net.
I could get 3150 with 140's with the standard. I cant see it being any different with the AI. I will be using 130's. in the AI and it should be sweet around 3100-3150.
