Dear Jagter,
I have hunted all over with the 264 Win and it`s never let me down. I use H-870 almost exclusivly. Several reasons.
1. Fills the cae.
2. Lower pressure in the higher temps. Not so temp sensitive.
3. Excellent accuracy!
4. Ball powder I think[?] helps barrel life.
My pet load for hot climates has been 74.3/H-870-140 Sierra Gameking. Sub MOA accuracy, good, fast-clean kills and minimal meat damage. Try and find something that burns like a yule log, is a BALL powder and you should do fine. Accurate 8700 and Vita Vouri 170 are vey close but remember!! My load and these other powders will require working up in your OWN rifle under YOUR conditions. Be careful and work up gradually to the max[accuracy] in your rifle. My own 264 rifles all have 1-10 twist and this alone will give less pressure than your 1-9.
Aloha, Mark
