[QUOTE="mchapman, post: 712174, member: 56539"] My dad bought me a new model 70 win .264 in 1991. I used the gun years ago and killed a couple of whitetails with it. The gun was fairly accurate with winchester factory ammo (140 gr silvertips) but never really shot very well.....so i shelved it. I have recently decided to try and make the gun perform better. This past weekend I shot a group with it using new winchester factory ammo ......the result was terrrible; a 3.5 inch 3-shot group at 100 yards....so bad i didn't even back up any further! I have all of my reloading eqipment for it and the gun is in superb condition....but in only has a 24 inch barrel. My question is 3-fold...does anyone have some good reloading data for this caliber? Could the barrel be a factory dud that's causing such inaccuracy? Given the .264 really comes into it's own with a 26 inch barrel, would you recommend buying a new 26 inch barrel for it and if so where could i get one? Thanks for the help, MC [/QUOTE]
