Hi there, my son was given a Winchester M70 that was rechambered to .257 A.I. in 2012. First handloads were hornady 117 btsp with a load I dreamed up. LOL if the damn thing didnt put all 5 rounds into a .75 hole at 100yds. Hunting load search OVER. Any ways I got him into some elk one morning and my 13 year old got his first elk a 291 yards. The round struck the cow at the base of the neck and exited the left shoulder leaving a 2'' exit hole. Dropped dead where she stood. Good gun, good load. However a gun like this is a topload and well if you want ammo, you have to make it.
