I cast for several rifles suitable for hunting but they all have iron sights, which are not suitable for my old eyes.
I have several scoped rifles, 264 Win. Mag.; 260 Rem.;270 Win.; and 7X57 Mauser. I think that the 7X57 would be the best choice of these because it has the largest diameter and the smallest case capacity.
It also has a long magazine and throat so that long heavy boolits can be seated out with the gas check still in the neck.
My 7X57 rifle is a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight with a 22" barrel and a 9.5 to 1 twist rate.
Would those of you who have hunted deer with this caliber please suggest a mold and powder load for this purpose. My hunting is typically 115 yards or less, for 100 lb. Florida panhandle deer.
Thanks
