I was just looking for max and found it with 72 gr. with Nosler brass and Fed 215GM primers. This load was going 3387 fps with sticky bolt lift. I also had another 264 with me that takes more powder to get it going so I had 1 round with 72 gr. and 2 rounds with 73 gr. The 2nd rifle has a 24" barrel and the first has a 27". 72 Gr. from # 2 went 2839 fps and 73 went 2885. These 3 shots showed no pressure signs. The fps difference between the rifles with the 72 gr. load was a whopping 548 fps.

He's had a bunch of .264 WM experience and is an accomplished LR shooter and hunter. RL-33 is his current powder of choice. He's been a lot of help to me with my 26 Nosler project. DF
