I haven't had time to start reloading for it so I am shooting the Nosler Custom Ammo in 130 gr Accubond. So far I am more than impressed with them. Except for the price per box of ammo.
Hope you get your gun good.

The .264 does have a hx of short barrel life which is hard to get around considering the large amounts of pwd used and the small diameter of the bullet. However if it used for big game hunting and just shot to sight it in it will last a long time.
