[QUOTE="strombeckj, post: 594666, member: 28471"] The 6mm-06 is very similar to the catbird. It is an easy round to reload for, simply neck down a 25-06 case with a neck sizing bushing die, 1 step. There is lots of load data out there, just look to its parent cartridge. There are many .25cal bullets with the same weight as 6mm bullets, just start 10-20% lower than the book. It is not a round I would recommend for long shot strings since it has a tendency to get hot. My smith has more than 1500+ rounds through his and it still shoots .5 It all depends on how you shoot it, it's not really a paper gun, you would be better off with a 6mmBR or 6XC or .243AI Here's a write up by the smith who built mine. It's about the 6-06AI [url=http://www.customriflesandcartridges.com/24-06%20Ackley%20Web.htm]24-06 Ackley Improved[/url] I will send a 95gr VLD down the tube at 3500 fps and a 70gr NBT at 3900 fps.. I choose it over a 6-284 because it cycles smoother as a repeater. Jon [IMG]http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k509/strombeckj/IMAG0045.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
