Now to answer the question as it was stated. 264 Win Mag - Y would anyone want one? The 264wm is the best penetrating, flattest shooting, most efficient killer in its size category and one of the best in any category. (besides a 26N and it is a true barrel burner) It flat stomps the crap out...

The way I look at it, there is only a need for 2 high powered rifles when it comes to hunting calibers. (I said need, not want) Why do I choose the two I have chosen? Life experience hunting, (Ive taken a lot of elk, deer, antelope etc and have witnessed the killing power of the two calibers in...

Ill have 2 as well. 1st choice is my 338rum xcr with B&C carbelite stock, Gentry 45degree break and custom trigger. This rifle constantly fires clover leafs and smaller with 225 accubonds and is nice to carry. I recently got into a heated debate in Beartooth Guns in Billings because the guys...

What ever you heard about Crispi is not true unless it involved the former owner of Crispi USA who is not around anymore. The current owner is Blackovis and Crispi is back in full swing. Now that warranty issues will be covered (If there ever is any) Its nice to know Blackovis is there to...

For what its worth I thought I would update my load data for you guys to chew on. I left Hornady interbonds because 1" was the best I could get with H1000 and tried 225gr Nosler Accubond's. I am hooked on these bullets now because in both my 264win and my 338RUM I am getting .3" groups and...

UUUUGGGHHH! NO. 65.5gr miss spoke there. How longs yer barrel Tr? Im shooting 26" and my average is 3119fps with a pro chrono and 65.5, not 75 my bad! I checked on WC872 and decided not to use it because of temp stability needed here in Montana and when I talked with the distributor he said...

Thank You Guys for your vote of confidence! .9 at 600yd. I had no idea! That gives me some real encouragement to keep working. I was talking with a local who has been loading and shooting long range for some time and in his words "There are times I would kill for a 37ft spread. I have shot...

More questions. I was finally able to get back out and shoot my A-bolt yesterday and got 3 out of 4 in one wallowed hole with the 2nd being about .75" higher than the other 3. This was with 65.5gn of Retumbo and I had worked up from 63 to 66 with half grain increments. I would be happy with...

Thanks for the tip on the annealing! They will be walking June 1 for sure! Just call! or email. 406-684-5388 [email protected] I saw 18 bears last year but I tried to take my 4 year old with me to get on them. Kinda tough carrying a 4yr old up a mountain! First year I havent filled my tag in years.

Alright, teach me about annealing that 264 as well. How do you know how much heat to apply with the flame? I have never tried it. Ive done a lot of neck then fl sizing but never tried annealing. I think your right there though to improve case life. Lived there 15 years and worked at Cushman till...

I have an additional question or two for LRH on the subject. Is it as simple as running lubed 7mm mag brass through a 264 fl die to make brass? I have read that a few times and if its that easy, I wouldn't have spent the money for Nosler brass. That stuff is supposed to be ready to load?? I...

Sounds like a sweet rig! I just cant believe how forgiving it appears 264 can be and I really cant wait to try it on black bear this spring here in SW Mont! What would make the Browning not want to hit 3150 with accuracy? Is the chamber generally to tight in factory guns to allow for it? And...

I use 225 interbonds in my 338rum and have had great results on black bear and elk with 1" exits and DRT and 7"groups at 800yds. I would recommend them, however as soon as I can get my hands on some accubond LR's in 338 (Next Year according to Nosler) I will be trying them because of the higher BC.

Hello LRH, I recently purchased a Browning A-Bolt Medallion in 264 win mag for 2 reasons. 1. My local taxidermist and good friend has 5 of them (264's) and besides his 338's and 375's, he basically said I could not live without one. My go to has been a 25-06 for deer/coyotes and 338RUM for all...

You guys aren't absorbing whats being said in replies here! Leave the other JUNK alone and get a Leica. New or used, they work! I went through 3 different ones, Bushnell, Vortex and Leopold and finally spent the $799 and got a Leica. Perfect every time WAY farther than I shoot game! Reads elk...
