I had a load I shot for years until I ran it over a chronograph.  Killed deer but wasn't giving .264 velocities.   It was a 125 grain Nosler partition and 62 grains of old H4831.   Back then there was a big discrepancy between "book velocity" and "actual velocity".  Mine was supposed to be in the 3100-3200 fps range but only came out at 2835 fps.  Might have been the one inch plus "freebore" my chamber had.  I believe I burnt out the throat doing some load development.

I have two pre-64 Model 70's in .264 that need new homes.  One is the initial one I bought in 1967 and the other is one I picked up in the 80's.  Strange thing is they were close in serial numbers.
I know of a good home for them.  :)

They are both used, so reasonable prices for two pre-64's.  The one with the shot out throat has had the barrel replaced with a take-off that had a good throat and was a shooter (per the seller)

You must not have my PM address as it's still empty.
