[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1952126, member: 93895"] Ive been wanting a 264 win mag for a long time for no other reason than I don't have one. There's no way that I can justify that I need it with all of the cartridges I'm shooting now in the rifles I've put together. I've contemplated putting a 264 wm together but I just really dont want to spend that much on something I have no justification for. I've thought about just buying a factory Win 70 264 wm. But the 9 twist is what hinders me. I've run 180s in a 7mm that were too long for the twist and had success but this is the only rifle that I have done that with. I've tried it in a few other calibers & cartridges and they just didn't produce the groups I wanted. I'm thinking a fellow might be able to get away with running a 135 Atip in a 9 twist 264 win mag with the right powders such as retumbo or slower burn rate to around 3250 fps mv. The 135 @ 3250 wouldn't be too shabby in bucking the wind & pretty dog gone flat shooting. [/QUOTE]
