    Wind died down a bit an hour before dark so I shot up to the club to test a load and finalise another.
    Using W760. Goes good😆

    Shot the one on the right first. 129 gr interlocks. 2950fps 11fps ES over 5 rnds.

    Made sure I adjusted my position to shoot the group on the left but I still managed to pull my first shot.
    Had something a smidge wrong with my setup as the MPI with the Amax is 1/2" higher.

    Earlier today it was identical to my other loads when shooting at the same mark.

    Was running out of light and didn't like my last shot either but still went well under an inch for 5 rnds if I ignore the first.😆

    123 Amax 3040fps 12 fps ES
    I reckon I could probably stay under any pressure with another grain of powder but do not see the point.

    I friggen love them.😆

    Have used them since I had a 6.5-06. They went as good in that as well.

    They kill as well as any other bullet I have used and I have shot them on paper and steel out to 600 with great results.
    Best, cheap .264 bullet out there imho.
