Very nice rifle.

My 264 (Not quite as nice looking) 26" barrel really likes 130 grain Scirocco bullets pushed by 67 grains of Retumbo. 3323 fps

130 AB's out of my 264 go about 3250 pushed by IMR-7828, makes nice little clusters. Haven't found a better powder for speed versus accuracy in my 264WM.

Faster? I think slower would do you well. Upon the advice of member RCamuglia (not sure on the spelling) I picked up some WC-872 from wideners.com

They had 8 lbs to me in 2-3 days. Should really show us some speeds.
