[QUOTE="Sage70, post: 2340558, member: 119027"] I have been shooting small groups with a pre 64 Model 70 every since I bought my first rifle. The Sierra GameKing is a very accurate bullet and I use them for both target practice and hunting. However, for most of my hunting I use the 165 grain Nosler Partition. It take some experimenting to find loads where the target bullets and hunting bullets have the same point of impact at 200 meters. The Partition makes a big whap when it hits an animal with an exit on the far side and the whap can be heard for several hundred yards. The Sierra doesn't penetrate like a Nosler partition. I have found it easy to tweak a pre 64 Model 70 so it's comparable to any high quality hunting rifle that can be purchased today. You haven't said whether your rifle is a standard grade or featherweight? [/QUOTE]
