What headstamp on the 06 cases?

Sell price?

How many groups have you shot with each to determine actual accuracy? One .4" vs .5" group is not necessarily telling you the truth. Either of those bullets will kill game well. Pick which you would rather shoot and continue load development and practice.

I look at it this way.... I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I don't have a bunch of babies running around, my truck is paid off, and I don't have a $2000/month rent, so my vice is my rifles and reloading. Money well spent in my opinion. Kind of like a car. A 76 Pinto will get you from A to B. And that is fine for a lot of people. Even though a 13 Mustang GT 500 still gets you to the same place, it is just more fun to drive, with a better ride and with a sense of pride doing what you enjoy.

Got my rifle back from Phoenix Custom Rifles yesterday after the finish inletting and bedding. Man they do a nice job. They opened up the barrel channel to fit and free float the contour of the Bartlein #3, opened up the bottom metal just a hair and bedded the bottom metal, bedded the recoil lug, action, and tang area. Just in time to shoot it this weekend to verify nothing changed in my loads.

These jackets are awesome. I have 3. Vias, Verde, Major Brown. If this was a medium or large....I would now have 4.

Great buck, let alone her first! Now she is spoiled.

Voted. Took 5 minutes, no line.

Wow! Amazing bucks.

If I didn't have one already, I would be all over this. Smoking deal.

Just like in real hunting, it would depend on the conditions at the time. And I bet I could sneak closer.....

$4000 rifle +$400 scope +1 hour watching YouTube training video X1000 yards X 0 hours behind rifle = 0 game shot and recovered See, simple math even an engineer can do!

Any competent gunsmith can build a barreled action to your specs.

Shooter. And a lot of verification.

Man, your buddy is really missing out n on converting a Tupperware Savage into thing of beauty with much better functionality and durability. Probably better accuracy too.

1 MOA (or 4 clicks if the tracking is on) is 1.047" @ 100 yards for the record. IPHY is 1" @ 100 yards. Which is very rarely used in scopes. 1 MIL is 1cm @ 100 meters. .1Mil is 1mm @ 100 meters. .1mil is .36" @ 100 yards. 1 MIL is 3.4377 MOA. I do agree that switching between MOA and MIL could cause confusion if you don't pay attention. Lastly, $800 is a good price for a NIB PST.

Great buck! Man, I can't wait to get into the woods!!!

I have a buddy that built a 6.5-06 AI that I did load development for. Pushed a 140 SMK or 140 HVLD @ 3100+. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/66517-new-65mm-wildcat-cartridge/page-3

Novice reloader? .260 Rem or 6.5 Creedmoor would fit the bill, great brass available, a little easier on the barrel, but still packs plenty of punch.

Nice meeting you too. Hope your daughter puts down a big one too.

All gone in record time. Enjoy everyone! Best of luck to all of the kids out there!

SPF.

Good round for deer/antelope. I have two 6.5mm rifles, a .260 Rem and a 6 5 SLR. Both shoot the 140 Berger HVLD @ 2840 & 2940fps respectively. The 6.5-.284 can get a bit more speed. Good brass is available, great bullet selection. There are faster 6.5s out there, but this is a solid choice.
