[QUOTE="03Rick, post: 892305, member: 31431"] I have only worked up loads with the 120, 123 and 140 grs. to date. Powder is hard to find on the shelves these days so have only used what was available. Here is my loads: 123 gr. Hornady 70.5 grs. PP4000 for 3400 fps @ 50,000 CUP 120 gr. Nosler 81 grs. N170 for 3450 fps @ 49,000 CUP 140 gr. Nosler 82.5 grs. US869 for 3250 fps @ 50,000 CUP [B]NOTE: [/B][I]The above loads were worked up in my rifle using Norma brass and are not recommended for reloads in any other rifle. If the above powders are used the charges should all be reduced by a minimum of 10% or more as a starting point. [/I] The neck length is 0.255" or the same as the 264 Win Mag. neck with 0.278" free bore. This is a rechambered 264 Win Mag on a 26" barrel with a 1:9 twist so not sure how well it will stabilize the long 160 grainers. [FONT="]My primary goal with this project was to develop a 1,000 yd. (low recoil) deer, sheep and antelope cartridge.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
