Well, I think I am just about done with the 264WM. I have two excellent loads (at least to me). The first load Retumbo, Nosler Brass, and CCI250's with the 140gr PT at 3200. Shoots really well and that bullet is incredible. Just for reference, shooting alongside a 300RUM on some 300 yard steel, the 264WM with the PT would punch through 1/2" steel. The RUM made bigger holes and the 7WSM with 160gr AB's at 3130 woould make big craters and just about punch through, but not quite. Anyhow, here is a pic of the 140's.
Just wanted to add a recovered PT from another range day to show you just how much of a great bullet this is.
I also made up another load of 130gr AB's, Retumbo, Nosler Brass and CCI250's. Those run into the 3350 range and are also just as accurate, but me being the nut behind the trigger makes the groups larger than they should be.
I was also able to run the 130gr AB in water jugs at 20 yards. Lets just say it was very exciting. Here are some pictures of the recovered bullet.
And a video of the 264WM getting shot into the jugs.

I can't say enough what bedding did for this rifle. It has really settled it down and made it very consistent across the board. Having two solid performing loads really gives me a good feeling about the rifle. I will say this, the PT was very easy to load, and it really shot well right from the start. I have some 140gr AB's to monkey with as well, but I doubt I will get to them this year, at least right now. Scotty
