Remington 660, 6.5 mag

[metau]

Thanks for the word of caution on the trigger. Haven't dealt much with this one yet to know about it, but I did have that issue in my 308 chambered 660. Definitely changed some of the things I used to do when I found that out.

I never knew if it was a trigger problem or a bolt problem. If it's a trigger problem looks like a timney would fix it. From what I remember they all had the potential to fire when you closed the bolt. My kids killed a semi load of deer and pigs my .243 with never a problem. But I'd never let em chamber a round until they were ready to shoot. Let us know how your loads work out. Rcbs oughta have dies for it. Lark.

Another good bullet would be either the Barnes TSX 120gr or the 100gr. TTSX.

for sure i would put a 2.5-8 leup on it. ( at least a 2-7 leup) they are light and clear. 3-9 compact too and shoot it.

It's got an old Weaver K2.5 scope on it that I want to shoot for the time being. As I've still yet to get dies for this, I have not decided on a bullet to go with, but was thinking of starting with the 100gr partition. With a max COAL of 2.850" in my rifle, any bullet longer than 1 inch will be into the powder. May also try the 100gr BT as well.
