6.5mm Rem. Mag loads - 02/09/09
I recently acquired a nib Rem. Model 673 guide rifle in 6.5mm Rem Mag. with 22 inch bbl. Knowing that the only available factory load is the Rem. 120gr. core-lokt offering. I was wondering if anyone out there has one of these and if you could share some of your favorite loads you have come up with? What do you believe is largest practicle game one could take with this round? Also will the size of the magazine be a real limiting factor in using some of the longer bullets out there? I'm really excited about the potential of this 6.5mm round. I was also wondering if the new Reloader 17 powder will be a benefit to this size cartridge, as it is a kind of short mag design the powder seems to be aimed at. Thanks in advance for any and all responses.
