I recently traded off my 7 mag for an old Winchester lever gun. This leaves me with a few boxes of heavy bullets in the calibre. They range from 195 gr. "old" Barnes to 160 to 175 Speers. Your experience with this combo would me much appreciated. Don't want top loads, just proven accurate combinations. I have most slow powders and more are easily accessible...Thanks
