Not to mention George's first round shot on an antelope at 1286 yards ! 6.5's really suck don't they. If you were shooting a 7mm/162 amax no doubt you would be killing them out to 2,000 yds.

2 questions : Would a 6.5-280AI, in a LA be as capable as the 6.5 SAUM ? ie is there an inherent advantage to the SAUM ? Cheers !

Cheers !
In my 6.5-06 AI (24" barrel) I can push 140 Bergers to 3050 with 60 grains H-1000, but case life is not the best. And mine is way more accurate than Pat's rifle

I was getting 3000 with a max load of RL17 out of a 24" in my 6.5-284 and thought the 6.5 Ackley could do better than that. Been debating rebarreling my 9.3 to either a 6 or 6.5 Ackley. Note, I may have been running stiff pressures in the 6.5-284. I know 'traditional' pressure signs don't mean much but I had no sticky bolt but brass was only good for about six firings.

Mojo, with the 140's I went straight to H-1000 and it shot so accurately that I didn't look further. Mule Deer had written about H-1000 in his 6.5-06, it seems to work well with 140's in 6.5's of similar capacity. I also get 120 NBT's to 3250-ish with R-22, and 130 S-II's to 3100-ish with 7828.

I'll go if you promise me good weather.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I tried plugging Ice Breaker into mapquest to figure out how how long it would take to drive from Indy. It's a haul...

Tanner, I swear you have built a dozen rifles in the last year, but you can only find one?

I've only "built" 3 or 4 this past year (more like cobbled together 85% factory rifles with different stocks). College is expensive. Glass, packs, and boots are more important than rifles at this point! I'm happy with the one or two I'd bring, though.... Tanner
