Sorry to answer a question with a question, but what's a Zastava M70?
Murphy was a grunt.

My Ruger No.1 really likes Varget and Speer 270's, though shoots well enough with other bullets. Reloader 15 is the go to powder for many and works well for me also.

This is the load my rifle likes:

Book load of H414 with a 270gr Speer bullet. Or book load of RL15 and a 300gr barnes TSX. Using FED 215 primers
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

69 grains of RL-15 and the terrific 260 grain Nosler Accubond. .8" groups at 100 yards. 2620 fps. Modest recoil. Dead bears. Regards, Guy

2) 76.5 grs IMR-4350,Rem 9-1/2 mag,260 gr Nosler Partition. Have you tried H-4350 with the 300gr Partition? I have. Shoots good. Am only using 75 gr of H4350 with the 300's. Usually results in about 2550 fps and good accuracy. Haven't used the 300 gr Partition on game yet. I don't know why it wouldn't work... Guy

BTW - without hesitation - I'll FREELY admit to borrowing my two "pet loads" from John Barsness.
69 grains of RL-15 and the 260 Nosler Accubond 75 grains of H4350 and pretty much whatever 300 gr bullet I choose
Both work GREAT!
Regards, Guy

My last Ruger #1 .375 liked 73 grains of RL15 and the 260 grain accubond. 3/4ths of an inch for 3 shots .. but only after I did ye olde fore-end hanger set screw trick to calm the vertical stringing.

The first load I wanted to work up for a used 700 Custom Shop version I bought used off of Gunbroker was a reduced, .35 Whelen level load for deer. I decided to use the Speer 235 semi-point and IMR 4064. The last two times I shot it, 68 grs put four shots in 0.8" and 0.9"...Fed 215 primers and Nosler "blem" cases.
I haven't chronographed it yet but I think that'll work.

80 gr of IMR-4350 or WW-760 under a 300 gr Partition, in WW brass lit with Fed 215 primers. This load with WW-760 gives me 2550 fps and has been my Africa recipe for 2 trips for buff and other game.
I was hoarding when hoarding wasn't cool.
