Thread: Best loads for .264

Kimjon might be the best place to start for load data.

I use 2217 in mine 130grn Nosler AB doing 2800fps 20" barrel

Hes never fired it or else that would be my first tree to bark up. Thanks for the replies guys.

Also after sifting though the reloaders nest website they go on about a 6.5x284 win and Norma... whats the diff? and how do I tell ? I always thought this was straight derived form the 284 win and simply necked down.

If you are just starting out reloading you should start with the .308 a much easier calibre to learn on the 6.5x284 is a whole different animal like learning to drive in a Porsche turbo, you will wear the barrel out
before you learn much the .308 will last up to 10,000 rounds the 6.5 2000 if you are careful, just my .02cents worth
