I'm not finding much online on this cartridge, is anyone willing to share their load data?
 
I run Hunter in the AI version. My load is 55 gr. Obviously work up to it as rifles and chambers vary.
Code:
Cartridge          : 6.5-06 Ackley Improved
Bullet             : .264, 140, Nosler BalTip 26140
Useable Case Capaci: 63.957 grain H2O = 4.153 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.250 inch = 82.55 mm
Barrel Length      : 26.0 inch = 660.4 mm
Powder             : Ramshot Hunter

Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
incremented in steps of 0.909% of nominal charge.

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 64000 psi, or 441 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

73 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 85%. These powders have been skipped.
