It wasn't that many years ago when reading a forum like this I would run out and get a 6.5-06 put together, develop loads for it, then hang it on the shelve with several dozen just like it. The 6.5-06 is a darn good looking cartridge but it doesn't do anything others don't unless you happen to be a ballistician trying to check off a box of perfection, but hey it's a sickness you know, so I think I will get going on one anyway!
