A Rem 700 CDL in 264 w m is on its way

RogueRiver · Jan 16, 2008

I am getting one of the special run remington 700 cdl in 264, w/ 26" fluted barrels. Paid for it on the 15th and it should be in my hands next week.

So what is a good powder for this round. I saw the 264 article in handloader, and was thinking Magpro, but am not sure please tell me what will get good velocity and be accurate. So far I have 140 grn part. and 129 hornady interlocks to start out with. I going to start out with a leupold 4-12 scope since I have one not currently on a rifle.

send me load data.

I'd recommend working up moderate range loads so you get more life out of your new gun and maybe some warm hunting loads.

Congratulations on the new rifle.
Do a search for past post from reflex264 and Pop. They have some very good load data.

Congratulations! Nice gun! Try reloder 25 for 100-140gr bullets.

Its funny I went to Goodguys, sportsman warehouse and one other gun store they all said it didn't exist. I looked up the Bigrock distrubiting and saw that All sports was a sub company of them here in Or. I knew that was where Bimart gets their stuff from so I talked to the guy who manages the sporting good section in the ashland Bimart he said he would make a call. the next day he said he could only get me a blued one and that , all sports said not to wait. I was at bimart within half an hour and had them order it.
