My mom had a 722 in 257 Roberts, my brother currently has it although it was in my safe for a while. Very accurate with almost any ammo we fed it..

I’m running H4350 with the 131 hammers @ 3280.

https://www.checkering.com/ I used this lady to checker my plain model 70. She does very nice work..

This is from my old Sierra book from the 70s. I can send you all the load data if you want, if this is the right cartridge.

We used to keep the dogs off the couch, but after the kids left the rules changed. No regrets…

I run green Superfeet in almost everything I wear, except for my Kenetrek hunting boots which are comfortable and supportive with the factory insoles..

Just back of the skull, to break the neck

The neck shot was my go-to when dispatching injured deer on the roadway. I did have to explain the difference between a neck shot and a throat shot to my non-hunting partner…

I picked up a G2 (Turkish gun) 20 gauge O/U with chokes for $360 out the door and it’s my new favorite gun…

Mine aren’t spoiled…🙄

I remember buying powder and primers from a local gas station…

I switched to patch-only cleaning on my Sendero at the suggestion of a custom rifle building friend. He claims that helps burnish the barrel? The gun shot sub moa with me at the trigger so there could be something to it….

Congrats! Great old cartridge..

My first GSP didn’t retrieve until her 3rd or 4th hunting season. I never made a big deal about it, she just repointed the birds and I never lost one..

Years ago I bought a Rem 11-48 in 28 gauge, had the full choke punched out and it’s been a quail slayer ever since. I do reload, use the same load for birds or targets.
