[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 917586, member: 9551"] I tried to get "H-870" to work in the .264 Win Mag. The problems are two fold. First it is too slow. Second it is dirty. I never cracked 3000 fps in a 26 inch barrel with 120 ballistic tips to 160 round nose bullets. I used F215 and WLRM primers. I even tried 1.0 and 1.5 gr of Red Dot over the primer (duplex load) and still couldn't get the stuff rolling. With a duplex load and 160 gr bullets you can get right up to 2990 instrumentally. The Hodgdon data for this surplus powder seems complete fantasy to me. I am using the WSM case now with Retumbo or VV N-570. I have tried H-869, HBMG 50 and Norma 215 and they are too slow to get much velocity. Reloader 33 might be of promise. So far I can get the best velocity with VV N-570 with 160 gr Woodleigh and 140 gr Berger VLD bullets. [/QUOTE]
