    I've found that 44 gr. of IMR-4064 works great for me with these (my best groups so far) good luck and let me know how they shoot for you.

    Bill, I think they work great for "deer sized" game. Go for it! Mark

    I agree, accuracy was the best I've attained so far. I will continue to use them on anything up to deer sized game.

I've also used the Ballistic Tips and although they flew well I was not very impressed with terminal performance on large game. I almost bought the Acu-bonds...

    Thanks for the input Bravo4. I picked up a box of the 140gr SST and loaded em up. I found my sweet spot using 44 grains of IMR 4064 (dime sized groups at 100yds) Also, I removed my barrel and sanded off the pressure pad just back of the fore end. What a huge diff! I also tried the Barnes...

    Man, it seems like they're either loved or hated! I'm headed to Africa and wanted to bring my .264 along for some lighter game but can't seem to find anything that preforms to my satisfaction in the accuracy dept. I originally loaded Sierra 140gr spbt with 46 gr IMR 4064. I got decent groups...
