I've finally acquired something I've wanted for a long time. A Ruger M77 MkII All Weather in .264 Win Mag. It will go great in the safe with my 7mm RM, 300 WM, and 338 WM boat paddle Rugers.
I'm very anxious to get started loading for it. It will be my deer rifle for the upcoming season. I'm thinking about the 125gr Partition or 130gr Accubond, as I usually prefer Nosler for my hunting bullets. This is my first experience with a .264/6.5 of any type. The Nosler 6th manual says 61gr of RL22 will give 3166 with a 24" barrel (which my Ruger has) with a 130gr Accubond. That is plenty of deer medicine I'd say. 61gr of RL19 with the 125gr Partition shows 3222.
Any suggestions ?
