Have laid in some extra 348 new W-W brass along with ABW bonded 250 gr bullets. Those Fury 220 gr bonded bullets might just
be the cat's meow as the weight is about perfect.
Don't forget Hawk in NJ-there heavy bullets work on game. Killed a large Alaskan moose with a 270 gr Hawk a few years back. This was in 270 gr Ackley Imp,
one heck of a cartridge in the Model 71.
One last piece of golden advice for handloading the .348 WCF: obtain a Lee factory crimp die for jacketed bullets. You will be glad you did.
The M-71 has a strong magazine spring. Bullets must stay in place, which the Lee FC die insures. ( Just got 3 boxes of 33 WCF from HAWK-1886 rifles.)
