[QUOTE="jakelly, post: 870596, member: 26850"] You are wrestling with two very different schools of thought here. You want a 6.5mm chambering that offers factory ammo in a LA with an 06 boltface. The rub is it doesn't exist! The factory 6.5x55 stuff will all be seated for SA and probably won't perform any better than standard 6.5x55 would in an AI chamber. Let me offer you some other options: -Either choose a 270 Win or 25-06 Rem and be done with it. -Or choose the 6.5 cartridge of your choice (seems like you like the thought of the 6.5x55 improved) and then: -Make a commitment to teach your grandson to handload -Or be sure to leave your grandson enough ammo to burn the barrel out Your going to stroke yourself out if you keep this up. A few more thoughts: -Just an FYI the 6.5x55 improved has the SAME amount of powder capacity as the 6.5x284 and will probably give you 2x-3x the barrel life. -The 6.5 Sherman type cartridges are awesome - I have a 6.5-06AI. -Have you considered the 6mm Crusader that GAP designed? For someone that has a 7 SAUM, that is what I would do on my LA. [/QUOTE]
