D David.C Private Minuteman Jul 20, 2019 30 17 May 25, 2022 #1 May 25, 2022 #1 I only have one LA rifle (300WM), and I'm seriously thinking about going down the rabbit hole. 25.06AI with a fast twist to shoot the 130 Black Jacks. Can't seem to get it out of my head. Is there anyone out there running something similar?

Then, go shoot it and have fun!

Click to expand... You can't fault me for what I didn't know. But what @stello1001 said then. If the 6.5-06 doesn't work out, you're just a barrel swap away from something else 06-based. (Or a shorter barrelled 9.3x62?)
