[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1315773, member: 42308"] 140 Berger hybrid? If so, seat it as close to maximum magazine length as possible and still feed reliably. From those powder choices I'd start with Retumbo at about 64.0g and work up, if you don't see what your looking for by 68.0g it's not going to be Retumbo. With a 24" barrel I'd try IMR 7977 next and maybe take a look at R-26. I Prefer a bit more case fill than 4831sc gives in a 264, but it maybe what you are looking for with a 24" barrel you should be able to get to respectable velocity. IMO, R-33 and Norma217 may be a bit too slow, but it wouldn't hurt to look if nothing else turns up. I've been using 217 in my 264 with the 140 hybrid at 3168. I'll share my load if you decide to give 217 a try. You are about to have some real fun, 264 win is darn near a laser beam and quite a hoot at long range! [/QUOTE]
