Warm load, but shoots very well. Best accuracy with 140s is in the 2730 range in my rifle.

You've been hamstringing your .264 if you are using a relative "pistol powder" like H4831. Try some of the slowest stuff you can get your hands on like WC-872 and your .264 will achieve its fullest potential 140's at 3250 fps..........

IMO, it's a better choice for the .260/6.5 Creed/6.5X47 sized cases. I'm especially liking the 130gr JLK's with a .600 G1 BC at 3000fps. That bullet, pointed with a "Whidden Bullet Pointer" is reported to have a .625 BC. Imagine that at 3300fps......... Luck....is the residue of design...

Been shooting a 260 in an XP-100R for a while. Building this 6.5x47 Lapua. I have both 130's and 140's to try. Friend who put my rifle together is getting 2880 out of his 6.5x47 L with 140's.
