The biggest problem with a Remmag in the bush these days is people spend too much time on the interweb talking with people who spend too much time on the interweb.

As an experiment, I am going to rechamber in 7prc a Remington 700 7rem mag barrel, with the wrong twist, just to see how it perform with factory ammo . I ll still be able to shoot the 162’s if it...

I use both 2209 and 2213sc in my Tikka, another powder well suited to the 6.5’s is Winchester Staball 6.5 has a burn rate similar to 2209.

I found my t3 prefered lighter pills. Around the 120gn mark. I use 2209
