264 win mag load?

I have a Mod 70 UL in 264. I've been using RL33 and the 142 ABLR. .75" or better groups and 3200 is easily obtained. Took it up to 3275 fps but accuracy went to pot so I backed it down.
Using Win brass and Rem 9.5 primers.
 
54 gr. Hybrid 100v w/140 hunting target vld = 2900fps and 3/4" at 300yds out of 28" shilen select match. Accuracy trumps velocity, barrel life will be good. Only trouble with it, burns a lot more powder than my bra.
 
I had a 1965 Westerner in 264 WM. The barrel was in pretty bad shape when I got the rifle. I went ahead and bedded the action and freefloated the barrel.

With little effort, I found a great load with a 129g Hornady Sp with IMR 4831, Rem case, Rem 9 1/2 primer. I killed a few deer and one huge white tail. This 129g Hornady is a great 300 yard bullet if your rifle likes them, and I always got complete penetration on the deer.
