That 6.5-06AI sounds like a keeper. That 6.5 has a bit more punch than the 6.5-284 and I would think it was more accurate than a .264 Win Mag, although I'm sure some will squawk about that statement.

Stated another way, I think it should be easier to get good groups out of a 6.5-06AI than a .264 Win Mag. And I would think you could push it pretty close to .264 Win Mag performance.
