I've got one of these Husqvarna 640 (civilian M96 action) in 8x57 and its a great rifle. Handles good in the field and hits hard. I put a Weaver K6 on mine and its a perfect scope for it.
First time working up a load from scratch. I’ve always worked from reloading manuals, so this is a new learning experience. Working slow and easy. Lol
.264 Win Mag
Interarms Mark X
26” Douglas Barrel 1-8” twist
Norma Brass (new)
CCI 250 primers
123 gr Absolute
Ladder tested with Ramshot...
This was the first powder I tried with my new .264 Win Mag. Long story short, too slow burning out of my 26" barrel.
When I did my ladder test it was great. I saw pressure at 80 grains @ 3500 fps. I loaded two test loads at 79 and 79.5 gr and shot one week later. My velocities were 120 fps...
