Trying to figure out a load for my .264 for this season, I want to switch to copper eventually but finding components has been a bit tough and I'm inclined to wait a couple of years and see if the 6.5 craze gets more bullets in circulation.
Therefore I have purchased a box of 140gr partitions and am thing about using Retumbo, starting at 63 grains, and working my way up from there hoping to get 3100 fps. I really only use this rifle for hunting and have probably only put 80 rounds through it in the lasts 5 years so I'm not really worried about burning the barrel. This is a old Remington 700 with a 1-9 twist and a 24" barrel. In the next 18 months I plan to hunt black bear, elk , mule deer, and either caribou or moose in AK .
Does anyone have any experience loading this caliber and/or using retumbo?
