    No. Some just do it much faster than others.

    And what is your goal for the rifle?

      Okay. Basically, it's because I'm that dude that wants something different. The AI rounds don't kill stuff any deader, but sometimes, like with the 280AI, they can mimic a magnum, minus the recoil, muzzle blast etc, with less powder and barrel wear. Also, I enjoy shooting long range, out to 1000 yards. The added velocity makes that easier and more fun. But really, it's just so I satisfy my desire to be different.

              Well, it's settled, at least until I actually pony up the cash and order the barrel.....anything could happen at that point. For now, I've decided on 25-06AI.

                I'm with you Luke. I just plain don't like the 270 or 30.06.

                I'm the guy at camp that people always ask what I brought this time. Lol.

                  Me too! Except they all know my 308, Kaitlin's 243 and always the first two guns to go in the truck.

                    Savage long action, currently 30/06, but that's irrelevant since bolt heads can be swapped easy.

                    If you could build any caliber you wanted (that will run in that action) what would it be and why? Easy wildcats included such as AI's, simple neck down or neck up. Also assume you already have a 223 Remington, 243 Winchester, 6.5-300WSM, 7mm Rem Mag, 308 Winchester.

                    Was thinking about a 25-06AI, 6.5-284 Norma, 6.5-06AI. What other suggestions you guys have?

                    doesn't sound like you're too interested in bigger bores, so I got nothing.

                      Yeah, I'm not into big bores. Just not my thing.

                        This.

                        I had HCR build me one 3 years ago. It has only killed deer 172 plus. (Ok, I got on a Kansas 172 and an invite on a HF place for a 182). Just as much fun was doing some long range shooting at a buddy's range on his lease out to 800 yards. Was totally impressed at the groupings.

                          If you want something like a 25-06ai, i will DEFINITELY go with the 6.5mm version to take advantage of GOOD bullets.....

                            I certainly considered that, BUT, my 6.5-300WSM should be done very soon and it will cover the 6.5mm slot in the collection. On the other hand, that WSM is going to be a heavy beast, so maybe a somewhat lighter weight 6.5 wouldn't be a bad idea.

                              A gunsmith buddy of mine does a 6.5x284 necked up to .277 to shoot 170gr bullets. Looking at 2900 fps range in a 28" barrel

                                30-06 makes a simple conversion to 9.3x62mm. You appear to have all the "faster is better" bases covered already. Build something that shoots heavy bullets at moderate speeds.
