My two current favorite loads are 62.5 gr H4831 behind a 125 gr Nosler partition and 68 gr of Ramshot magnum behind a 120 gr ttsx. I partially resize my cases so where I get a slight resistance when closing the bolt, I use Winchester mag primers. I also have a Pre 64 westerner with a stainless steel barrel, don't know if they all came that way or not. I purchased mine in 1975 for $325.00, came with a 6X Redfield wide view, been wanting to get a 3x9 but can't bring myself to do it because that scope and rifle have been togeather so long.
