I have owned two S&L M60s and one M65, all in 7x61 with 12" twist. Having other rifles to play with, I had never given any of them a thorough evaluation. I appreciate all your comments and suggestions; it should make load selection much easier for me.

It seems my best bet is to concentrate on the 140 gr. and lighter bullets. If I want to shoot heavier bullets, then go with RN or Short Spitzer bullets at maximum velocity. I will try to post my results as I conduct my trials.
