I have recently purchased a deluxe M71 that's a solid 98% gun. The only downside is it's missing the sling swivels:(
I'm coming to the conclusion that in order to enjoy this fine rifle on a deer hunt I'm going to need to reload for it. Has anyone used the Flex Tip bullets from Hornady? If so how did they perform?

I have used Hawk bullets in my 416 Taylor with good results and will probably try them as well in the 348.
