Ive always used a .222 or .223 and over the last 12 months have shot 18 deer with my .223's. I have 3 .223's - more by accident than design - but at least it means that I can have certain loads for...

Well last night will be one to remember for me. Having arranged a hunt after work with my mate Ben we hit the hills late in the afternoon after work. It was dry as a bone and hot as hell and we could...

It has been quite a while since I have posted anything here, to be honest the political mud slinging kind of put me off, but that's another topic I have zero interest in right now. It has been a...

Totally agree. A thousand different people will have a thousand different views so when it gets to confusing (and it will), just do what you want to. Nothing wrong with 6.5 06 at all, and there are a...

If you can find a tikka 260rem or 6.5creed you could rechamber like I did and it will screw into your sako75 action The performance increase is hardly eye watering but the 06 cases feel like a dream...

Mark and Sam after work did a comparison between a 6.5 Saum and 6.5 06 AI. With the exact same powder charge and barrel the Saum produced 200 fps more velocity. So if I was changing barrels I...

If it was me, I'd keep the 25-06, great calibre, capable of way more than 300 if you have the trigger time, plenty of projectiles that kill shit. And I would build a 6.5-06 to the specs I want for...

To answer your question, a 6.5 barrel is a 6.5 barrel no matter what. It is what you chamber it to, eg 6.5x55 ,6.5-06 etc that makes it into what 6.5 caliber you want you want. So Buy a 6.5...

Like others I've had a 6.5/06 and the AI version and you gain very little over the standard .260 or Creedmoor and you need a much longer barrel. My .260 with a 20" barrel will push the 143 ELDX at...
