Again, I am impressed with the information on this forum. I had to laugh when I found the 4064 powder listed as the accuracy load for several cast bullets. I am going to load up a half dozen and see how I like them. Since there is hardly any place on my property that I can see 100 yards, I have no need for HOT LOADS. The deer in my area are not noted for large size and the only other beast is a bear that sometimes wanders thru and damages a fruit tree or two. I am actually going to hunt with my 6.5 Jap, since it is scoped and my old eyes take too long to focus on iron sights, but the Winchester is fun to shoot. Thanks again for all of the info. ____Grant.
