62.5 to 65, but yes I see what you are saying. I suppose a 2.5 grain jump is a much bigger deal % wise with a smaller case. But still I probably should have went 1 grain at a time.

Looks like the rut is setting in nicely to the west. Been on the DL for a bit here. Got wired up with a new pacemaker last week so hopefully I'll soon build enough pressure to engage when the time comes....Rut On!
Heal up Scott. There are wimmin to chase, beer to drink, stupid to talk.
I hope you're feeling better.

a 2.5 grain bump for your 65 grain powder charge in your .264 is a 3.8 % increase.
a one grain bump for my 37 grain charge is a 2.7 % increase.
Its probably not a big deal,just slightly bigger steps .The trouble could come only when you get close to maximum ,and make 4% increases.
It pays to be cautious,espcially for a new handloader.

The first time ND has to pound the bolt open with a mallet & the primer pocket is blown out, he'll say "I see what they are talking about now."
I would strongly suggest a Remington action if you are going to be so flamboyant with your reloading practices ND. You can never be too safe.

Yeah but then if I get a tight case the bolt handle will fall off when I try to extract...

There are 2 kinds of reloaders. Old ones and bold ones. but there are no old bold ones.

Scott, is the pacemaker something new for you or did you just get a new one?
I hope you aren't having any troubles.

campfire 700's are famous for shedding bolt handles.
Skane has a collection of them, he hunt's remington 700 sheds every spring after the snow is gone.
He must have hundreds of them.
