I have been shooting the 264 since 1964. Years back, used H-870 for the 140gr bullets. Now use VV24N41. Drives the 140gr Nosler AB to 3229 in my 26", 1/9 twist Bbl very accurately. Rel 33 drives the Barnes 120gr TSX/TTSX to around 3450 fps. Primers I use are CCI #250 LRM.

Bought a 264 barrel for my Encore last fall, currently working on 124 gr Hammer Hunter with N570 and RL33, the RL33 seems much slower burning. Right now getting 3390 -3400 fps with really low SD from 75.3 gr of N570, RL33 with same bullet and 75 gr is 3280 fps. Neither is pressured out but N570 is getting close.

That 124 at 3400 sounds like a wicked mother!

Seems to be a lot of 33 users. US869 was my huckleberry with 139 - 143 gr bullets. Pretty much the same as LRT. Never got RL-33 to work for me.

Enough H4831 to get around 3650fps from a 24" barrel shot little tiny groups with the now discontinued Sierra 85 gr.

Used IMR 8133 with 140 gr accubonds 2 years ago. Didn't chrono it, but had very good accuracy. Used this load on mule deer at 90 yards. Not much of a test tho

The first powder and bullet I tried when I acquired a .264 Win Mag was 140 Accubonds and IMR7828. It worked well and I've stuck with it. My load clocks about 3170.

57 grains of IMR 4350 with a 140 ballistic tip in 4 different rifles. All sub inch groups. Have your checked the speed on that load? No sir, I have not.

IMR-4350 also shoots well in my .264 Win Mag Remington 700 Classic with 125 gr Partitions and 120gr Ballistic Tips.

H1000 will give double the barrel life of a lot of powders in the 264 Win mag, heat index indicates it is a cool burning powder.
