Looking to see what you are using for powder. I am looking for 3000fps running 130 grain pills for deer hunting. Thanks for your help gentlemen and ladies
 
I am using H1000, Retumbo & H50BMG, in that order. I run 129g ABLR, 142g ABLR, 150g ABLR & 140g Accubond.
Another useful, but hard to find, powder is RE25 in 264WM.
You have far more choice than I do, but when Win 780 Supreme was announced it was being discontinued, I grabbed all the 4kg jugs I could and have a lifetime supply, it is perfect in the 264WM with either the 130g Accubond or 140g Accubond.

Cheers.
 
It's not hard getting a 130 in 264wm over 3k. It's been my favorite cartridge to reload for over 40 years. I mainly shot 140's and 85's.

Available powders unlike imr4831 I've used for decades that's gone with the wind leaves

N560/565 (maybe 555)
H4831
H1k
Retumbo
Magnum
HD might work
Don't discount magpro
 
I presently use IMR7828 with the Sierra 140 SBT, speed is 3190avg w/26" bbl. I also tried H1000
and that avg is 3150 with slightly less accuracy both excellent choices in my gun (pre64 M70).
130 at 3k should be easy especially with todays powder choices good luck and go up slowly
