RL-33 load data for 264WM

[264WM]

Wondering if anyone has been testing the RL-33 with 130gr and 160gr bullets in the 264WM? Finally found some in a local store so I need some good starting loads and also for other bullet weights would be useful. Thanks

I have used it in 2 rifles.

Rifle #1. 27" lilja barrel
127LRX 71 gr. R-33 3360 fps MAX
129 Hornady IB 72 gr R-33 3306 fps
120 TTSX 71 gr R-33 3400 fps
140 Hornady 71 gr. R-33 3302 MAX stiff bolt lift

Rifle #2 factory 24" model 70
129 Hornady IB 80 R-33 3254 fps
140 Hornady 75 gr. R-33 2950 fps

As you can see one rifle takes a bunch more powder so work with a chrono.

Thanks for the info which helps as I have a Shilen 30" barrel. The bullets that I will test are the JLK 130gr VLD and the Woodleigh 160gr PPSN. If I can find some Hornady 143gr ELD-X bullets I will test them also.
