25-06, 30-06, 270, all the AI stuff. What would be the best to reload for as far as accuracy/economy goes?
Some cartridges are more naturally accurate than others. Take 222 for example. And I'll smack anyone that says 6.5CM. Not an 06 parent case. I'm wanting this thread to stick to any cartridge that is based off of the 30-06. Please?Hopefully others with more experience will respond. In my experience, target accuracy is a function primarily of 1) the rifle having a true, well bedded action, good bore/crown, etc. and 2) consistent loads. The choice of any of these 06 calibers shouldn't dictate accurate vs. non-accurate.
I like .270 but I feel something 6.5 coming in the near future
No, they aren't.Some cartridges are more naturally accurate than others.
AI?
Let's not go there tonight. I'll build a 17 hornet before a 6.5CM. Besides, it won't be for 1000yd work.If you are building a rifle for accuracy alone everything says use a short action for accuracy but I still like the 30-06.
If you aren't stuck on an 06 offspring I would build a 6.5 Creedmoore for targer/longe range target work.
While short receivers are a bit stiffer than long ones, there's no difference in the accuracy a barrel in either can have...
I have a Pre Hogue overmolded stock Howa 1500 in 30-06 and in .223 and both are sub 1/2MOA rifles @200 yards. (no longer ranges near me) That receiver is/was used in the Smith&Wesson 1500, Mossberg 1500, Weatherby Vanguard and probably other quality rifles too. I recommend it. that said I'm also a fan of Savage rifles and I'm sure they will do what you need done too. I both both my rifles used at a great price and was also looking at Savage at the time.I'm looking at either a savage or a howa. Stainless of course. Shorter than 400 yards.
