I just re-read the original post. (I thought I read 6.5-06 the first time.)

Is that a 6mm-06 Ackley Improved?

Good golly, man! If it is, they don't MAKE powder slow enough to fuel that thing - unless it comes in a bag marked Kingsford.

Okay, that's an exaggeration. Powders like Reloader 25, Retumbo, H50BMG and the new H869 are slow enough. But it's a severely overbore round. Find a suitable load quickly - you won't have much barrel life. I'd bet that you won't get 1,000 rounds through it before it's toast.
