US869 in the 264 win mag

[su37]

Has anybody any experince with this powder in the 264 win mag?

I've a 700 that I have punched out a bit to seat bullets out longer than what came from the factory.

 

[BillLarson]

I use IMR7828 and it works good.

 

[su37]

Yes, I use that as well and RL 25.

In my opinion US869 would be far to slow for you to reach top performance levels unless your using the old 155 gr SMK or the heavier Wildcat Bullets. For any 6.5mm bullets up to 142 gr class, there are much better options including Retumbo and H-1000 and the powders you already are using.

If you want a ball powder, Ramshot Magnum would be a much more appropriate burn rate for conventional bullet weights in the 264 Win Mag.
