Complete Guide to Handloading, 3rd ed, 2nd rev page 398 edited by Philip B.

It is by far the best of the Winchester autoloading numbers, however, and is an excellent cartridge for deer and other thin skinned medium-sized game. In handloading, one must, as in other autoloading calibers, bear in mind that there can be but very little variation from the factory standard if the action is to function properly and safely.
