Thanks to all- I have found Nosler and Norma factory loads locally at $52.00/box of 20-- now that I know there are no barrel or velocity losses with the shortened barrel, we are negotiating the "cash on the barrel head price. Will advise if I am successful in getting this older M70( way better IMO than the 1955-1964 "pre-64" M70's.. RWTF
