Not shoot Remington 140 grain bullets because of pressure .The Remington 6.5 bullets have that double diameter for the 264 rem mag .I used nosler ballistic tips 120 grain seated way out and they shot 1.25 inches at 100-yards .I use imr4350 powder .You have to watch for primers backing out in 6.5 jap and primer failure .My chamber in the 6.5 jap makes a small buldge above the rim .I also had good luck with lapua 155 grain mega tips in it .This bullet has bands cut in it which reduce pressure .It's super accurate and close to the original 160 grain that the 6.5 jap was originally loaded with .I had to seat the bullets to near the rifling no matter what weight they were .I bought a 260-Remington and just about quit fooling with 6.5 jap I am even thinking about remembering my 6.5 jap.into a 260 Remington to make it work Lot better and to make life simpler !
