  I don't think your deer will know the difference between a load that shot in the 4's and a load that shot in the 2's. [:D]
  
  Good luck on your hunt, be safe and aim true. [^]

  Thanks for the post. I have an old Winchester chambered for that cartridge--I'll have to try some of your loads.

  My Winchester model 70 in 264 WM shoots H4831SC and H1000 the best, but I use Nosler bullets.
