About 20 years ago my Grandfather sold me his custom made .264 Win Magnum for the hefty sum of one dollar. He had it custom made with a Bishop stock, Hart Barrel, FN Mauser action, high luster blue finish and topped it off with a 15x Unertl Ultra Varmint scope. At the time, I was too young for reloading, and his health was not good, so he couldn't safely do so either.
All of the ammunition that he loaded was unwisely shot up in my younger years without saving any for examination, and I've not been able to find any of his load recipes except for one which calls for 70 Grains of IMR 4831 behind the Sierra hollow point. This exceeded the maximum listed in my Sierra manual by 7 or 8 grains. Would I be foolish to try working up to this load? Does anyone else shoot 100gr Sierra's in their .264 Win Mag?
