[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1125199, member: 5302"] If you give a hundred people a given set of components to work up a load for a given cartridge in a given rifle, you'll get a hundred different "best" loads for whatever their standards are if they shoot one test group with each recipe they try with 5 or less shots. For accuracy, I suggest you start with what Sierra Bullets' recommendation is for their 140-gr. bullets in the .264 Win Mag that's proved very accurate across several rifles they tested it in: 55 grains under their 140-gr. bullets seated to an OAL of 3.34 inch. If a good hunting load's desired, 62 grains of H4831 and the same OAL did well in Sierra's tests with their 140's. Their basic test rifle was a Win. 70 for these loads. If you shoot several test groups with a given recipe, use the largest one to represent the accuracy you can count on for that recipe. [/QUOTE]
