The first cat I did was a 6.5-06 and I loved it. M70 action, 26" Douglas spout and very easy to load for. At that time I was running mainly 120 grain BT and some Sierra bullets. Killed deer, hogs and plenty of crows and woodchucks with that rig. I no longer own that rifle for some stupid reason but I have an itch for another which I would set up to run the 130 grain AB or the 143 grain ELD-X
