I'm having a hard time getting a 264 Win Mag with a 9 twist barrell tuned for a 130 grain hunting load. Wanting to shoot a 130 grain Accubond or Swift Scirocco. Any velocity is OK with me; looking for sub 1/2" MOA accuracy however.gun)
 
When I had my Shilen barrel 1/9" twist rifle I found it would only shrink groups burning H1000. I don't remember the charge weight, and Win large magnum rifle primers.
 
Work up to this load. Here is what my 9 twist 27 3/4" Shilen barrel 264 Win mag shoots.

66.5 grs Retumbo, CCI 250 primer, Winchester case formed from once fired 7mm Remington Mag cases or Winchester 264 Win Mag cases, 130 Accubond, OAL 3.450 which is 10 thousands off the lands, average 3350 fps. Will run just under 1 1/2" groups @ 300 yards on average. Have shot 6 whitetail deer with this load from 80 to 250 yards all once shot DRT.
