I agree with the OP, both my 66s, a 3" and a 4", are more accurate than my Security six or my M19 or my M10. They're not new guns, been shooting 'em for a while and bought 'em used. The 3" makes a danged decent carry in a Hume JIT slide, but I've got a new 20 ounce 605 Poly on order, 30 percent off MSRP. I prefer to check out the guns I buy, but decided I needed to use this 30 percent off certificate. The Poly is 15 ounces lighter than my 3" 66, should be a joy to carry, though I might have to back off the loads. But, 140 grain hot .357s weren't to bad in my SP101, 7 ounces heavier with a Hogue grip.
I've owned a M85 stainess ultralite since 1996, many rounds through it since then. I carry +P 158s in it. It's very accurate, too. I've never had a problem with it. It came with absolutely the best out of the box DA trigger I've ever felt on a revolver. Sweet gun. It's in my pocket as I type, a constant carry that becomes a BUG when I put my 3" 66 on to go to the big city.
Anyone else's bashing of the brand/products doesn't relate my experience. This really is all I can say.
I heard THAT! Kinda off subject, but I'd always avoided Remington .22, never thought a lot about 'em. Now, the ammo crunch and I've tried some stuff I never did before. I used to just pick up a box of Federal at Walmart, back when you could do such things. A box of Remington golden bullets, 500 rounds, came up on Wikiarms for 25 bucks and FREE SHIPPING. Well beggars can't be choosers, ordered it. That stuff is just as accurate in my Ruger SR22 and functions 100 percent. I recently was able to obtain 2 boxes of Federal bulk pack. Occasional light loads fail to pick up the next round off the top of the magazine and I've had a couple of duds that didn't seem to have a bit of priming charge in the rims.
Off subject, sorry, but I read this and had to relate.

I think a lot of the bad press is internet "jump on the band wagon" posts. For example is the constant gripes about Remington Golden Bullet 22 rimfire ammo. I'll take all of it I can get. It has outperformed the universally loved Federal bulk by a wide margin for me.
