Question

Does anyone know or can you direct me to reload data for the 264 win mag with 140gr bullets and RL22 powder?

Answer 1

You can find reloading data at www.handloads.com or you can buy a copy of one of the better reloading manuals such as Hornady, Lyman, etc.  Another good web site is www.gunsandammomag.com/ballistics.  It gives you the ballistic info for many different cartridges.

You can also go to www.alliantpowder.com for info on your Reloader powder of choice.

Answer 2

My Grandpa has a .264 and we both recommend the Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading. Remember always to follow published hand-load instructions to the letter; never cut corners or attempt "hot loads." Nice choice of rifle, btw. Happy shooting!

Answer 3

All 140 grain bullets are not the same, so be cautious. Nosler's manual suggests 55.0-59.0 grains of RL22 with their Partition, and Lyman lists 56.0-59.0 grains with the Sierra SBT. If you're using a Hawk or some other bullet with more bearing surface, that may be too much.

Answer 4

I would suggest that it is rather foolhardy to be using this type of forum as a source for reliable reloading data. With all the juveniles and nutcases that frequent these posts, you’d be taking your life in your hands (literally) relying on any loading formula offered by some stranger that you know nothing about and whose motivations may be less than trustworthy.

In response to your question, I would strongly recommend that you invest in one of the many quality reloading manuals on the market. Those from Lee or Speer are loaded with information for the handloader, and can be found for a $20 bill or less, new or used, in many places, such as eBay and Amazon.com.

For the specific loads you are developing, you can also check the loading data offerd by Alliant online at:

Safe shooting and reloading!!
