There are many variables that can affect accuracy, one of which is barrel harmonics. These can vary according to the burning characteristics of the powder. The theoretically correct powder will start...

grandpamac Mitchell's in dvk have or at least did have a Winchester 257r complete with a pile of cases, projectiles, factory ammo and dies. It looked hardly to have been used if your still itching.

Bought my first centerfire in 1978, a 30.30. After I saw my first sambar sold it and bought an M70 30.06 in 1982. I still have it. Unlikely I will ever sell it. Now does light duties with 125gr...
