I will start on this Ruger 77 with the same factory loads my 1893 Mauser likes, then move to some handloads the Mauser likes, and, hopefully won't have any that are squirrely in the Ruger. Then I can move on to developing and testing some new factory ammo for each (both if it is not too how for the old Mauser).
I am more interested in finding mild, fun-to-shoot 120 to 129 grain loads. I have hot .270, 7x64, .308 and .30-06 loads if I need more than a mild 140-gr load provides. Besides, iron sights are going to be primary (some sort of scope in QD rings), to keep this a lighter walkaround deer rifle for those beautiful autumn days.
