I have some of the 139 scenars loaded up with US869 (working up to 77.o gr) that I need to get to the range with. I was able to get 3,150 with RL-33 and 140 NABs. The 139 Scenar has a very short bearing surface.

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
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

Rick,
No telling how good that gun will shoot when you get the bugs worked out...
Whats the barrel length on your rifle to get that speed????? W
