    Very similar for sure, but 60° shoulder and blown forward even more, so more capacity than any AI on the 30-06 or 30-03 case.

    Big boar down with my blue thunder load, great results with the 160gr TTSX at 3000 fps. Bear squared 6'9". 75 yard broad side shot...

    The factory 147's shoot great in my 6.5 PRC, but doing less than 2800 in a 24" barrel. I wish I had an AI case on the 30-06 family to...

    Awesome looking rifle and cool caliber. As you've proven, fire form loads can be quite accurate! I hunted with & killed several deer and...

    I look forward to range reports. I didn't realize production & assembly had moved to Portugal for Winchester's bolt actions.

    There are other good options, but I chose this new production Winchester Model 70 Alaskan in 375 H&H. The Alaskan model has a lighter...

    The slower powders will work best for that, no matter the barrel length if you want the most speed. Sounds like a killer rifle.

    I wouldn’t let the 2600 fps velocity bother me at all with the 129 gr. ABLR bullet. I’ve been using it for years now deer hunting in a...
