[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2430567, member: 91783"] I have a1973 , Winchester model 70 , 30-06 with a 24" 4130 Crome molly barrel 1:10 twist if it was a Remington it would be a #4 taper . It wears a Lupold fixed 12 power scope as I sent the original in to Denver to be fixed , it was an older steel tubed fixed 10 power and it never came home , the company went bankrupt and I couldn't get my scope back sadly . The walnut stock didn't like to come live where I do and split from the front action bolt for about 8 " so it has an older McMillen fiber glass stock bedded action and free floating barrel , with a Jewel trigger set right at 3lbs. Just a little back ground of what I tried the Hammer Hunter 124 grain bullets in . So I have some Nosler brass that had been fired twice in this rifle I set the shoulder back .002 , used Remington 9 1/2 large rifle primers , IMR 4350 powder started at 56.8 grains , as that's what I run with my Nosler 125 grain bullets . I left my seating die set for the Nosler bullets figuring that I would adjust it as needed . I think that all I will need is some tweaking of the seating depth and may go to CCI large rifle mag. primers , as I got a 5 shot group of under an inch in gusting winds of 25-40 mph at 100 yards . I did reset the zero to match the new bullets they were running a bit high , 2" , I think that my rifle and myself are going to like the new rounds , the coyote and P.D.'S probably not so much as I'm going to get out this spring again with Gene and his Jack Russell ( Jack ) for a few days .
