264 bullets

It is great when your partner wants to hunt. We get a lot of quality time together away from all distractions. Good luck with the build.

Thank you sir

What recipe is that and twist? I have a 32" 7.5t for 150smk.

Using a 50BMG Australian made powder, not available elsewhere.
H50BMG is similar, but a little slower.
US869 is another powder that will get higher velocities.

Cheers.

I'm burning a 97gr Absolute Hammer Bullet at 3150fps out of a 20" 6.5 Grendel and 3500fps out of a 24" 6.5 Creedmoor. It delivers more ft.lbf energy out to 300 yards than all my 120gr bullets for my Grendel and 425 yards for my 6.5 Creedmoor. Felt recoil is nominal with both calibers.

Wicked fast, for a couple years I ran 127 barnes lrx at 3300 FPS. LAZER BEAM!

^^^ This is what I came here to reply & got beat to the punch 127LRX gets my vote all day.

Have been shooting a 264 for 30+ years. I took a boatload of deer shooting 120 Nosler Ballistic Tips in front of both IMR-4350 and H4831. Recoil was always more than manageable. Shot them from between 75 and 500 yards. The average shot was probably 250. If you stay out of the shoulders, meat loss isn't bad. I am now shooting heavier bullets in my newer 264's but I still have an old 700 classic set up running 60 gr. of IMR-4350 and 120 B.T. It still shoots 1/2 moa or so and I still seem to pull it out some every season.

Yeah there's light hammers. Also barnes makes a 100 grain ttsx that'd be perfect for you.

I am sorry to hear about your wife's MS. Kudos to her that she still shoots. This makes an excellent set-up and opens up plenty of bullet choices and ammunition.

She is one of the bravest people I know. Deals with pain every day but is still ready to challenge herself. Thanks for the thoughts.
