[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1230035, member: 42308"] All of the powders you mention should yield satisfactory results. I haven't personally worked with any of the V-V stuff so I won't comment in regard to that powder. Another couple of powders you may like to work on are R-33 and Norma 217. I ended up running 217 in my rig as it yielded the lowest SD in my rifle (9fps and 3,168). If all you have a was to is Ramshot magnum, Retumbo and H-1000 I would heavily favor Retumbo followed by H-1000. YMMV. 264 win is going through a bit of a rebirth as we see more and more tempurature stabile slow powders hitting the shelves. Not much in North America is off limits with a 140g bullet at 3,100-3,200. When I rebarrel my rifle I'm going to run a 26" 1-7 gain twist to send the 160's off. You have a great hunting rig that will last you for quite some time if you keep it cool and remove the copper fouling every 50 rounds or when you see the groups start to open up. It isn't a high volume chambering. At all. I never shoot more than 3 Rounds at a time and let the barrel fully cool to ambient before shooting again. Sight in the cold bore shot at 200 and you are within 6" vertically out to nearly 400. I've never had to shoot a second shot at a deer with mine yet all have fallen where they stood when I squeezed. I haven't had a opportunity beyond 400 with my rifle, yet but wouldn't hesitate to go significantly farther, as long as the impact velocity is above my personal limit of 1,700 fps. [/QUOTE]
