2 dogs264 mag and 90 gr bullets
does anyone have load data for a 90 gr bullet in a 264 mag?

duckboatI checked my reloading manuals and the closest load info I could find was for 85g and 100g bullets. The lightest bullet I've ever personally tried in my .264WM is 120gr.
Is it the Speer 90 TNT bullet you're going to use? If it is, Speer says the maximum speed those are designed for is 3500 fps. If you don't already have access to the info for 85 gr or 100 gr loads, you can find it on the IMR/Hodgdon website.

PanchoThe only reason 264 got such bad press reviews was folks trying to shoot light bullets in them. Stick with the 125 gr Nosler Partition or heavier and you'll love the rifle. Shoot the light weight bullets in your 243. Ya I know they won't fit - that's my point.
