Hunted with a very accurate custom 6.5-06 for several years, which would average around 3-inch groups with it's best load--at 600 yards.
A fine round though since it's a wildcat (or at least has been since A-Square went out of business) there are some quirks to handloading it. I mention them in Chapter 29 of the first Big Book of Gun Gack, "The 6.5-.284 and 6.5-06."
The 6.5 PRC is even closer to a short-action 6.5-06 than the 6.5/.284, and has several advantages, both in factory ammo and brass.
Thanks for the information. I'll check out chapter 29.
