Agree with Df, here. I built a 6-06 off a Rem 700 action and an 8 twist, 26" Brux barrel. Probably the most accurate gun I've ever owned. Berger 105 Hybrids at 3300 generate some amazing ballistic numbers...and kills! Super easy to load for as well...25-06 brass with one pass through a 6-06 sizer is all it took to make brass. Like a dummy though, I sold it. Jeez! Once I wear out the barrel on my 240, I'll rechamber to a 6-06. I have to disagree here BTDT, I have done 6-06 and 6-284. both shot well but barrel life was short. Best I have found is 6mmAI 1-7.5"twist Bartlein, shoots close speed wise and barrel life is better. only problem might be finding brass these days Well, seems most high performance rounds can be pretty hard in barrels, i.e. 6.5-284, 26 Nosler, to name a couple that I have. The .240, if shot hot and often, will eventually digest a barrel. I generally work up a good load, load up a supply of ammo and move onto another project. That way, I don’t fry that many barrels. BTW, barrels are replaceable and in some circles, considered expendable commodities. DF
