My 6.5-06 is one of the semi-custom rifles E.R. Shaw puts together, with a threaded and blue-printed Savage action and a Boyd's laminated stock. It has a spiral-fluted 26" #4 barrel, and I get just under 3000 fps with 140's using 56.0 grains of H1000. That's the load I hunt with, but have tried a bunch of others and can provide some velocities with other bullet weights too if you're interested.
Working with one right now.
Just broke in the barrel but during barrel break in ( 142 SMK's and RL 22) I've got multiple groups in the 2's and 3's
Why H1000 over RL 22? I'm more of a fan of accuracy over speed so what are the most accurate combinations you have.
I'd like to settle on the 140 Bergers as the "goto" bullet.
