thanks but no thanks....tis a case of rather not know..... Im not intending to push range much past 350yards so it doest really matter,the ol smoke stick does ok as it is.

I have 2 6.5/06AI rifles, my 26” barrel was getting 2990 using rl22 with 156eol Berger, a bit under half moa. Just had that barrel cut down to 18” for the bush and built a 28” and starting load development with the 156’s and rl26, supposed to give better velocity then rl22, I’ll know next time I’m at the range. But yeah the straight 6.5/06... I’d go 6.5x284 for velocity. And if you build the ai version, don’t use a 98, feeding is bad with crf. I tried lol. Grant at Truflite has the 6.506ai dies and makes a sweet barrel
