Thread: 264 Win Mag

Hi Greg, what powder and charge did you use, I must get back to mine one day, and try 140 or greater, I run 130g Accubonds, at about that speed,
Have a couple lbs of Reloader 33 to try at sum point.
That's quite good speed for a 140gr, be a nice rifle for shooting at longer ranges, Nice build.

RL33 is what I used, can't understand why Guys use a powder that only 2/3 rds to 3/4 ers fills the case ?

Tend to agree, but there is a lack of published data, from the likes of Hornardy, Nosler, Hodgeon on new powders, suitable for the .264 win,

Damn right!

My current load only pushes a 140 SST at 3003fps... kills everything well though.

I'll give some RL33 a try
