But the 95gr Vmax with 72grs H4830 is a lot more fun.
Maybe, but back when the 264WM was brought out, 2 factory loads were listed a 100 gr at 3700 fps and the 140 gr at 3200fps. The 100 in both WW and the RP 100 were full dia. bullets loaded hot and I'd bet my last dime they are what gave the 264 it's barrel burner rep. Both the WW and RP 140 gr bullets were 2 dia and loaded to pressures that are acceptable. Reduced bearing surface, reduced wear. When the barrel is gone put on another, it's just part of the price you pay to play. BTW neither WW or RP offer the 100 gr loads anymore. I never found any WW 100gr ones to try but the RP 100's shot well in my 700 Ltd Classic 264. A full dose of H870 and Fed 215's gives me 3000 fps with 140 NPT's and no problem killing any deer/antelope but no deader than 129 gr Hornady interlocks loaded easily to 3100 fps do.It's not the name or the rep., if you hot rod anything it just lasts less time period. Good luck MM
