Wish it was a 30-06

Don’t know the seller.

But the 30-06 comment caused a thought on comparing ballistics….I own the same gun in 6.5C.

Due to the long throat of the tikka 6.5C, hand loads w/RL26 easily reach 2900 fps w/143eldx. That round compared to a modest 180 accubond @2800 in 30-06 show the following:

30-06 (energy/drop)
Muzzle: 3133/
500: 1573/46”
1000: 726/323”

6.5C
Muzzle: 2670/
500: 1576/39”
1000: 873/257”

Understand folks like cartridges for different reasons, but just impressed with what a long 6.5C can do and how it compares. Inside 500 obviously 30-06 has energy advantage but it’s also in your shoulder(20%+) in a light gun.

I guess if nothing else, free bump. Awesome rig.
