There may be more variables affecting your group size than simply your ammunition.
Guys here who are more familiar with this caliber than I am may be interested in knowing the make and model of your rifle, approximately how many rounds have been through it, whether you've checked for loose scope mounts, as well as anything else you've done to isolate your problem to ammunition.

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.

I disagree with this. I have a .264 that my dad bought new in 1970ish, it has been hunted with almost every year since then. This year when I sighted in my rifle, it put 3 bullets into a cloverleaf at 100yds. Can't get much better than that in a hunting rifle.

the ammo might be your problem. ive found almost all vld's to be very sensitive when it comes to seating depth. when they do shoot well they are simply amazing but i have to be honest, if you dont need them, dont go through all the trouble and just get something in the mid range like accubonds, tipped triple shocks or sst's.
