The 139 Scenar is a super bullet. Shoots like a 140 Berger VLD, but is tougher.

IIRC, Rick (rcamuglia) tried WC-872 and I think US-869. He settled on RL-33 as the best .264 WM powder and he's burned a bunch of .264 powder. As you remember, RL-33 is similar to RL-17, made by the same Swiss company. It reportedly has a smooth pressure curve like RL-17.

Me, that's where I'd start with the .264 WM. With the 26 Nos, it's the other way around, 869/872 out perform RL-33.

Yep.

I've found RL-33 to be the best powder in the .264 for velocity. I'm shooting the 139 Scenar at WARP SPEED smirk cool

3400 seems to work well in Balistic AE for correct drops as far out as my scope will travel (1250 yards)

Accuracy seems pretty fair too wink

That is IMPRESSIVE!
