[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 996233, member: 10178"] From what I have read from people that have actually shot game with the 129 LRAB is it will expand well at long range but it will blow up really bad at close ranges. One fellow that does a lot of crop damage control work up in WV shoots nothing but pistols like the Rem XP and he shot a few deer in the 100 to 200 yard range with his 6.5-284 it think 14" barrel so the velocity was down some from longer barrel rifles and it really made a mess out of them. He stated that he was going back to the 130 gr Accubond. I use the 130 Accubond in my 264 Win mag at 3350 fps from the 27 3/4" barrel with Retumbo powder and have taken a dozen plus white tail deer from 30 to a little over 400 yards and it is just plain awesome. By the way to get 264 Win cases all you have to do is run a 7mm Rem Mag case into your FL 264 Win mag sizing die and presto you have a 264 Win mag case. That is what I do. As for loading stuff it is getting a little better but shelves are still very light and what you do find the price is hiked up. $26 to $30 a pound for powder average. Bullets about two times what they were before all this mess. I priced some lead shot for shotgun shell loading the other day and I can purchase the loaded shells for less. Good luck with your 264 Win mag I know you will love it. [/QUOTE]
