I have a 48' Winchester Mod. 71. I love it. I have hunted elk and deer with it. I am confident that I could take any game in N. America with the rifle. I reload for it as well as use Winchester factory loads. I have enough hand loading components to last me the rest of my life. This is one of my fav...

I use Barnes TSX .300 gr bullets in my .405 win. They are a great hunting load. I use them over IMR 4198. I haven't used them in my .45-70 Govt. I like the 300 gr. Noslers for that. Let us know how the work.
