I recently ran across a large collection of guns, one local gun shop picked up two Winchester 71's and three Browning 71's, all new in the box (the Brownings, not the Winchesters). Apparently this guy had a major thing for these guns, he owned and shot Winchester 71's and bought a Browning 71 for each of his three sons when they came out, none of his kids wanted them or anything to do with them, so he kept them. One of them was left at the gun shop, so I put a deposit on it, it's a carbine version, new in the box, still has the wrapping on it. The shop wanted $925 for it so I decided now was time for one. Another local shop has half a case of Winchester ammo for it so I can get that to start with.
My question is, I am looking for loads for it, I plan on using a 200 grain or close to that size bullet, my plan of course that this gun will be for whitetails next year, not to go after anything else bigger, at least not yet.
