Good luck! Trump Won!

My pre 64, in 264 shoots 140 partitions well. I have two Sako's in 264 with 26 in barrels. They like the accubond 140's a little better. I shot quite a few 140 Bergers, but didnt like them on game.

I have not shot either one yet the hawkeye is new unfired, both have 24 inch barrels. Is there any suggestions on loads for these guns or bullets weights for different twist rate? Thanks Jeremy

It likes 140-grain Accubonds, too. Don't be the darkness. America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

To me it's easier to reload for than the .264 WM. I've worked with both. To name drop, JB reportedly sold his .264 and bought the Nosler test rifle after his report on the 26. Just saying. rcamuglia has done a lot of work with the .264 WM and prefers RL-33. DF

The 1:9" twist will definitely stabilize 139-142 gr long range bullets. 75-77 gr US 869 and 139 Scenars impress in my .264, but it's a Remmy action.
