    I have never had much luck with the 6.5-06's I've had (2) but I do know of good ones, hence following this with interest . . . and since you asked @Micky Duck

    Cartridge : 6.5-06 A-Square
    Bullet : .264, 140, Hornady A-MAX 26332
    Useable Case Capaci: 61.183 grain H2O = 3.973 cm³
    Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch = 84.84 mm
    Barrel Length : 23.5 inch = 596.9 mm
    Powder : Winchester 760

    Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
    incremented in steps of 2.0% of nominal charge.
    CAUTION: Figures exceed maximum and minimum recommended loads !
