    Yep, I run 130 AB in my .264 win, 3200 ish, seams to work well enough, I bought a box of Nosler trophy factory 130 AB and got 1" group at 200m, 140gr bergers and Hornady weren't as good, One problem with the .264 win, if you play around too much, with load development, you might have burnt most of the barrel life out, (1000) rounds.
    I also use a partion 125gr, these lay deer down, like the hand of god, right now, right there, ruin a lot of meat thought.
    I intend to try 160gr round nose, next time, I've been shooting these in a 6.5x54 MS, and have now seen 2 moose shot with them, (6.5-06) penetration is measured in Feet, and lovely mushrooms.
    I probably consider a 140-145gr if starting over, likely a bonded/partion/hotcore, I not over interested in dialing and long range, 400m is plenty far enough, and given there are things, that bite and claw here, reliable performance, near or far, is my preference.
    chainsaw, Moa Hunter and csmiffy like this.
