[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1369009, member: 77249"] I would take the gun to a gunsmith and have it checked out to be safe. Did you measure any of the cases that have been shot in the rifle? Something sounds strange. Putting a 7 MM Rem Mag into a 264 WM would take some doing. .020 of case neck and bullet would not go without a lot of force. I have seen 264 Win. Mag. ammo loaded in cases head stamped 338 Win. Mag. and 7 MM Rem. If the case neck was not turned after being sized to a smaller caliber the case may have fit tight in the neck of the chamber, It would take some force the get the shell chambered and could jump pressure. Good Luck and be Safe. [/QUOTE]
