[QUOTE="stephenr6565, post: 918842, member: 75555"] So I just did a little quick research on loads for both the 6.5 RM & the 264 WM seems most reloading manuals like nosler's have the load density really high for the 6.5 like 90-100% or a little over in some cases and the 264 in the 70's to low 80% range when they are loaded like that the speeds are pretty comparable im wondering why the manuals have it so low for the 264 is it pressure issues? also a lot of them were using 24" tubes which doesn't really suit larger cases like the 264 I found some other load data from realguns.com that they were using a 26" barrel & higher charges than what the books say and they are much higher than you could get out of a 6.5 RM considering the load density in the books is pretty much maxed out it shows a 160gr Woodleigh @ 3095 & 140's @ almost 3250 here is a link to the 264 loads im not sure how credible of a source this is though [URL="http://www.realguns.com/loads/264winmag.htm"]Real Guns - Handload Data - 264 Winchester Magnum[/URL] [/QUOTE]
