[QUOTE="davewitt, post: 484008, member: 29579"] I have tested the 140 A-MAX on 1 antelope @319yds and 2 mule deer. Both deer shot at 325-380yds.1and done. The 6.5-06 is a wonderful cartridge in my humble opinion and also very easily and cheaply made! The only downfall is barrel life that is common to putting large amounts of powder down a small diameter bore. I had mine set back after 1100 rounds when the groups opened up to .75 at 100yds and she went back to shooting! If you decide to go with the 6.5-06 instead of the 6.5x284 you will have too make your brass.Lapua makes exellent 6.5x284 brass that you can buy,load,and shoot.On the other hand winchester 25-06 brass is cheap and can be reformed into 6.5-06 in one step in a full length size die.You can also make them out of 30-06 if you like extra work.Hope this helps!
