when I have a new barrel spun on, i work up a load and load 600-1K rounds, just for that rifle, and that rifle will usually get nothing but that load for the life of the barrel. easier for me to keep track of schitt that way.
Yep...that would definitely simplify things a little. Haha.

What is a good load for the Nosler 130 gr Accubond and Ramshot Magnum?

I have gone up to 70 grains with no problems and very good accuracy, with a muzzle velocity of around 3250 in a 24" barrel.

100gr Nosler BT with 72gr H4831 at 3709fps and 100 yard 3 shot group covered with a dime from my Shilen 30" barrel 1 in 8 twist. 160gr Woodleigh with 71gr H570 same gun at 3095 fps. Haven't shot for accuracy with 73gr H570 3261fps but signs of pressure. Extractor mark and flattened primer but bolt still opens easy. I am guessing somewhere in between will be ideal for the 160gr bullet.

264wm,
You still have some H570 or is that N570?

Yes I still have 2 and 3/4 lbs of H570 a friend gave me but he wants the empty cans back as they are rare.

70.1 grains of Ramshot Magnum behind a Barnes 127 LRX is very accurate and high velocity. 3400 and change.
Rifle is an Extreme Weather Model 70 with a 26 inch barrel.

73 grains of Rel 33 behind a 140 Nosler Accubond. 3180 fps and 1/2 MOA out of my westerner. It's quickly killed everything that I've pointed at it.

Is the 1:9 twist the norm for 264? Looking at a Winchester extreme weather and wanting to shoot 140's. Does anybody see any issues with combo? Thanks

Does anybody see any issues with combo? I have the 1:9 twist and have no issues with 139-142 gr. bullets. The 139 Scenar smokes 'em all in the accuracy dept. Have not tried the new ELD-X, but the 140 A-Max was a dud for me.

I load 58 grains of IMR 4350 with a 140 Nosler ballistic tip. A little over 3000 fps. I use this load in two Westerners and two Sako's. All have 26" barrels.

Update #2 on my load. Settled on the 75 gr load with the 142's. Kept shooting the rifle (factory new one) and about the 100th round down the pipe I noticed the group opening up a bit (up to a .8" group for 3). I pulled out the Magnetospeed and shot a 10 shot string over it. I'm guessing my barrel finally 'broke' in. The same 75 gr load was bumping down the road at 3240 on average.
Took a nice 5x5 with it this fall. The 142 cleared through both shoulders at 137 yards.
I'll keep playing with it as I really enjoy shooting my 264. Picked up 8 lbs of RL 33 and 800 bullets (i'll use some of those in my 6.5 Swede as well). Should last me through my first barrel though.

Glad I found this thread!
I bought a can of US 869 a few years ago and 74 grains behind a 140 MK was under a half inch. Did not have a chronograph at that time.
Defiantly gonna try to find some R33 now.
Maybe some R50?

Maybe some R50? RL-33 could not best US 869 in the accuracy dep't for me. Tried H50BMG also (Same burn rate as RL-50). My advice is don't bother with it. 869 is my huckleberry. What was very interesting is groups were sub MOA from 70 to 77.o grains with the 139 Scenar and the Scenar doesn't seem to care where it's seated.

What kind of case prep are y'all doing for accurate loads? Full length sizing? Shoulder bump? Neck Sizing?
I'm gonna start loading for mine soon and need input on best practices, or what works for y'all.
Anymore updates on loads? RL-33? Anything new out there since 12/28/16?
Thanks,
David
