Thread: The 6.5-06 gets an upgrade

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.

Yes interenet speeds are useless. But my 7mm bullet will always be better than your 6.5mm bullet beause it will be launched from a redneck homophobic made in america rifle and yours will be launched from a .. thats right a blaser Isnt a blazer like a cardigan

Nope a cardigan is more useful

A blazer is a jacket that can be worn for casual dinner dress, usually by the upper class, (so its highly likely you 2 bogans dont own one for that reason) or used to display a patch, noting membership too a club or team.

A Blaser however, is a piece of superior germanic engineering that only upper class, really, really good looking hunters may own.
However, I do admitt to being a redneck and homophobic but it seems I slipped thru the selection process that governs superior firearms ownership
If you's like, I could post photo's of a real rifle, so that you can copy them in order to view them by torch light, under your bed covers.

Its called utilizing muscle memory to its full effect

Shes sexc there davey boy. An other project, tube on its wat today

What length barrel? 140 at 3100 sounds very interesting

26" trueflite. Should get well above that with the sirocco 130. Was easy to achieve in the standard with a 140.

Dammit, I was looking to go 280 AI for a build but now I have something else to think about

There is bugger all in it, half a mil of copper most likely. Either or would be a great choice. The .280AI would be slightly more efficient and have a better barrel life I'd say.

Why did you pick the sirocco?. I'm trying them in my 6.5 06 because I want something that comes out the other side but I haven't shot any animals yet

Hi Brian,
Because they are very accurate in my rifle, kill and have an excellent BC for a 130gr. Although I have only shot a dozen or so animals with them they have flattened everything from 10-771 yrds. My longest shot on an animal. A crook nanny thar.
A mate also uses them in his 6.5-06, a bit slower than I do and he has had the same results. Had a couple recovered from Thar shot over 400yrds and they weighed over 120grs IIRC
I loaded a 100rnds for him to take to South Africa, I have had one email so far saying how much he loves the load and that was it. So I assume he is shooting a few things and the swift is performing well in Africa.

where are you guys getting your sirocco's? (NZ)
