Anyone loading the LRX in the 264?

Planning to, have already run them in my 6.5x47, but switched to Lapua Scenar bullets in 123g & 136g.
Should be good with H1000 or Retumbo.

Cheers.

They shot pretty decent out of my 24" X-Caliber (Savage Prefit). Pretty reliably 0.9-1.1 MOA (statistically significant group sizes and number of groups).

24", 1:8 twist
~3250-3275 fps
~66-67 gr of Retumbo

I loaded them for a buddy who wanted to borrow my rifle, but who's against lead bullets. He flattened a white tail at about 90 yards with one. He sent me a picture of the blood "trail", and it looked like something out of a horror movie. Deer death sprinted about 40 yards, and lost about 40 quarts...

Im going to give the 127 LRX and the 156 Berger a try see which ones shot the best. My barrel is a 1.75 twist. I have a PRC also that shots 140 grn bullets at 3100 fps so im looking at doing so real world fps comparing.

1.75" twist? The 156 Berger thrives in 1:8' or faster. My .264 WM is 1:7" 26" built for the heavies, but I am still working on load development (pressure testing).

Yes its a 1.75 twist preferred blank barrel. I got from a member here that had it installed. I haven't shot it yet but look forward to working with the 264. I have worked with the 257 Weatherby and the 7 mm mag but never the 264 so it will be nice to try something different. I got some Retumbo,h1000 , ramshot magnum, and R26 so i have a few choices.

My custom 264WM has a 1:8" twist, perfect for those 127g LRX bullets.
My other 2 264WM's have factory 1:9" twists.

Retumbo is my go-to, but I use H50BMG in my custom with 150g ABLR.

Cheers.

WOWZER! I know that Berger recommends 1:8" or faster, but you might want to consult with them. I am interested in what they come up with. Below is what I got from Berger.

From an LRH member.

Good luck!
