[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 545110, member: 14209"] That's a prety nice rifle....Love it! I don't have a .264 Win mag, but I do have a 6.5-06 AI. Rfignt now, with all of the work that I've done with this rifle I would hope that a .264Win Mag could shoot a 140g Bullet at leat 3200FPS. I wa able to get 3150 with a 140g Berger and a 140g Sierra GK out of mine. There was no pressure either. I dropped those two bullets because my bbl is a 1-9 twist and I couldn't get either one to group less than 1" and I messed with 3 diffrent powders and seating depth. I switched to 129g Hornady SSTs and Interbonds (these are ballistically interchangeable) and I was able to achieve 3300fps, I have since droped the max load down 1 grain. I had 1 lot of thicker brass and didn't know it I blew some primers. I am using RL-22. The velocity and accuracy is great, but RL-22 Burns dirty in this rifle. All Factory .264 Win Mags have 1-9" Twist bbls. It's a rare one that will shoot a 140 or bigge bullet accurately. I guess Winchester, when they standardized the twist for the cartridge, thought 1 inch accuracy was acceptable. They should have had a 1-8" or 1-8 1/2" twist...Just my opinion. I built the 6.5-06AI Versus the .264 Win Mag due to the effency of the case. I give up some velocity, but it works for me. Dan [/QUOTE]
