In my Win M-70 Transitional, 25" barrel the Barnes TTSX 250 grain bullet, using RL-15 will get very close. Oehler 35 P at 15 feet, MV = 2950 FPS. Very consistent MV, 0.5 MOA at 200 yds. Used it as my medium last September in Zim without any problems. On my 5th reload on the Winchester cases I use.

Not quite 260 grains at 3K MV, but functionally equivalent and lethal enough.


Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry
