[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 843307, member: 10178"] Use something in the burn rate like 4895 or 4064 with medium loads and 150 gr Sierra or the 165 Sierra hunting HP. Don't let the HP in the 165 Sierra make you think it is a fragile bullet, it is not. It is about as accurate as the 168 match bullets but does open up but stay together very well and kills deer DEAD. The old 742s were good woods rifles but in this day if you break a part in one it becomes a wall hanger because you can't find parts for them anymore unless you find a rifle someone has that is broken and it has the part you need that is not broken. Many I see are very rusted in the gas system and the chambers are pitted due to not cleaning them properly and they will not function anymore. [/QUOTE]
