Great looking pair of rifles, I built two pre'64 M/70's recently on in .257 Roberts and the other in .35 Whelen. The Whelen is very accurate with almost anything up to and including 225gr. Nosler and Sierra. I only hunt whitetail deer anymore and don't feel the need for 250gr. bullets. My .257 Roberts shoots 87gr. bullets really well but my preference is for 100gr. Nosler and Sierra. I have not done much load development with bullets heavier than 100gr. but I have a pretty good selection and will eventually develop loads for 115,117 & 120gr. bullets. Have fun with your rifles, I sure enjoy mine and have no regrets having built them.
