Better check your twist first as most commercial 264s were set up for speed with a twist that might not be appropriate for such a long expensive bullet.

The 160 Woodleigh has a fairly blunt nose and most formulas suggest it will stabilize in a 1-8 twist.

Actually, I just ran it through the formula on Brian Litz's ballistics program, which is the best twist formula I know of, and it says a 1-9 twist is plenty.

saj,
I would look at Hodgdon's on-line data for the .264 and reduce the loads for the 160-grain Hornady at least 5% to start with. The Woodleigh is going to create more pressure, but it will provide a starting point.

Use the slowest burning powder you can get your hands on.
