[QUOTE="mchapman, post: 712465, member: 56539"] Thanks for the advice so far fellas...I guess I could have provided a little more info and expectations on the rifle. I'm simply wanting the gun for whitetail hunting purposes. The place I hunt is farming country in Oklahoma ...lots of bean and corn and wheat fields. I hunt from a sturdy, comfortable stand but I'm not shooting at extreme ranges...400 yds tops! The barrel is clean, I used Hoppes copper solvent to clean it. The twist rate is 1:9...I have not checked the torque settings...I did some reloading for it years ago (120 gr. HPBT matchking sierras, winchester brass, remington 9 1/2 M primers, 63 grs. of H4831 propellant)...this load was a little more accurate than the factory stuff but nothing to write home about. As far as my rest when shooting....sand bags. I have a 300 winchester in model 70 that I shoot 3/4 inch groups with at 100 yds...so I don't think that I'm doing the 264 a disservice..but maybe I am??? I would love 1 to 1.25 inch groups with the 264. I was really wanting to stick with some form of 140 gr. bullets because of the bc, sd and downrange energy...but maybe that's not possible. I've never shot any 130's out of the gun.... There are some powders on the market now that I'm not familiar with like retumbo and H1000...I've never used these powders in anything....any info on how they work in different bullet combos compared to H4831 would be helpful too... Thanks [/QUOTE]
