A friend of mine in Sacramento uses a 6mm-06, standard '06 shoulder, for the 1000 yard tactical matches, and competed against my 6.5-06. His 6mm-06 was built on a Win Model 70 action, and McMillan stock. Between relays, he and I were comparing notes, and it turned out we both use the same powder, H-4831SC. He used .25-06 brass, necked down, while I use 7x64 Brenneke brass, also necked down. If he ever gets around to selling it, he'd better give me a call!!!
