I built my 6.5-'06 in '90 and decided to get a flock of cases and fireform them. I got 400 cases and loaded them with a load from a manual (50.0 gr IMR 4831) and loaded the 120 Solid Base Noslers in my resized WW .25-'06 brass. Shooting the initial box of that ammo at the range I was seeing 3-shot groups in the 2s. The first group was .227". I used most of that ammo for a rifle course at Gunsite, and never did run it over a chrono.

This is a hunting rifle, but was custom built on a Rem action, McM. pillar bedded stock and Shilen barrel by a benchrest gunsmith friend who let me watch and make notes.

I built it and a .280 Rem at the same time, and they both shoot.
