Right now I am building a:
25 Krag Ackley
6.5-06
250 sav



I just chambered a 7mmSTW... not glass bedded yet.

In summary, I think the 6.5-06 is the best for deer. The only disadvantage is no source of brass. I have to run 30-06 brass through a 6.5-06 die, and then the case head marking is wrong.



I bought some 6.5-06 brass. I forgot who made it.


Midway has 5 boxes.
