I do handload. I'm going against my better judgement and will be using this rifle for next week's mule deer hunt. I don't normally buy a rifle two weeks prior to hunting season and then actually use it.
However, I am very familiar with Winchester M70s in function and have been able to put 120 rounds through it over the last few days. I've shot it out to 300 yards from field positions, so that will be my limit. I don't know what kind of groups I'm getting, but I'm having no problem keeping 5 of 5 shots on a 10 inch steel plate at 300. That should be minute of deer.
This winter, I'll be doing the load development for the rifle. I picked up some RL17 and Magpro. I have H4350, RL19, H4831 and RL22. Hopefully, I'll be able to take a deer with the TSX. I've never used them before and am interested to see what the hububs about.
