I'll be gone hunting for a week, but if he hasn't joined by then I'll call him and ask him about shipping. I don't know how a person does that with powder. Any knowledge on that front?

According to my Speer #7 manual from 1966, both H870 and 5010 show the exact same range of loadings from 72 - 76 grains for a 264WM. sounds a bit warm to me and can't recall what I used back then.

H 870 works great in my 7 Rem Mag heavy bullets. Its dirty burning compaired to modern powders. Yup! I haven't used it in years, but H870 was great with 175's from my 7mm Rem Mag. Accurate & fast. Took a nice 6x6 bull elk with that load, 20 years ago. And yes, dirty powder. Guy
