This looks like the place to share some load results.

I am still working with my first 264, but it is on its second tube.

The model 70 is a 27 inch Pac-Nor #4 three groove in 8 inch twist, in case I want to try the 142MK etc. The scope is an FF II in 4.5-14 ballistic plex.

The no 1 is my 7STW.

I have only just begun to wring out the barrel. So far I have been trying to make 3300 fps with 130 gr AB's.

71 gr of H1000 max (load from Hodgdon 26 at 3187 fps) actually gave me 3300 with the barrel well warmed previously.

On another day through a cold tube, it averaged around 3275 fps.
with accuracy right at 1 moa.

I am sure the rifle can do better so I continued to explore.

71.5 gr of Retumbo produced 3300 fps, but I have not grouped it yet.

I also have a string of cartridges loaded with various weights of Magnum. Probably get them over the Chrono this week end. And shoot a few groups.

I have a 340 Wea (Pac-Nor) in hand which I need to run out to 700 yds for a friend. I am hoping I can try the same with the 264 this week end.
