I use Hornady 117gr RN .257 in my 25-35. Never herd of a 6.6 , a 6.5 would be to large for the 25-35.

Stick to reloading manuals. Remember, if it's on the internet, it is gospel. NOT !!

There is a European cartridge that is extremely close, but not identical to, the .25-35, called the 6.5x52R. They have slightly different shoulders, a smaller rim and use a .258 or .259 diameter bullet. The standard .25-35 bullet is .257. Given the variations on chamber dimensions in rifles, some may chamber both cartridges while others will not.

Hornady makes the FTX for the 25-35.
MAGA! This is the way!

We sighted in my Ruger #3 in 25-35 with Hornady 110 gr FTX Leverevolution and they were crazy accurate.We got tired of punching holes in paper and started shooting dime size pebbles on the berm. With the 2.5-5 Leopold it made head shots on squirrel size targets easy, at least at 50 yards. I would have no problem shooting a deer in the eye if he made the mistake of looking at me.

Do whitetails have eyes in the back of their head now?
