If you shoot your Model 71 enough, it can really impress with accuracy and fast handing.
Keep in mind that the original three loading bullet weights from Winchester were 150-200-and 250 grains.
The 150 gr was dropped as it had little sectional density and was not reliable. The 250 gr probably did not sell that well,
so was discontinued. Peters made a 210 gr which was effective, but rarely seen.
I have some 225 gr Hawk bullets that are close to the perfect weight in the .348 WCF. Fast enough,
but heavy enough for anything virtually. The Hornady is still a good bullet, so hang on to what you have .
The Swift intrigues me a bit because it is a bonded A-frame at the original 200 gr weight. Will work well for bear and is well constructed.
