[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1252614, member: 10178"] The 264 Win mag was not originally made from necking down the 7mm Rem mag but you can make some great 264 Win mag cases by running a 7mm Rem. mag case into a FL 264 Win mag sizing die. :D That is how I get my 264 Win mag cases. I got an almost new Rem 700, 27 3/4" Shilen barrel (9" twist :rolleyes:) rifle in a trade that I ended up not having very much money in. I load 130 gr Nosler Accubonds, in match prepped WW cases made from 7 mags, 66.5 grs. Retumbo fired by CCI 250 primers. I average 3350 fps and 1/4 MOA accuracy. I have only killed a dozen of so deer with it because I have only hunted with it part time for 4 years. I have killed deer from 25 to a touch over 500 yards and none of them have needed a second shot and only one has taken three jumps after taking that AB and it kangaroo hopped on it's hind legs 3 jumps. Yep the "it is a barrel burner" moniker and Winchester chopping the barrel off to 24" because of the "it is too long and heavy" to carry crowd, and the short throat needing a two diameter bullet or a long sharp nose bullet that was not made back then about doomed the 264 Win mag. But put a long barrel on it and throat it correct and use modern bullets and slow burning powders and it ROCKS. gun) [/QUOTE]
