[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1535935, member: 13632"] The original release and the original ammo was different than what you have now, if you look at the first run rifles and the ammo that was released for them and measure them you'll find it was originally a bore riderish or dual diameter bullet and throat to match, if you search you'll find more info on the original guns. Those rifles we're awesome with that one bullet but every guy I've talked to who still has one who shot the original designed bullet quit shooting them because everything else sucked in it. Really just needed throated out a little and problem solved but the original release is what killed it in the first generation. The dual diameter bullet let the 264 run fast for the powder and bullets in the late 50's but then you take that same rifle at the time and loaded any other bullet and velocity was flat. Basically at the time the guys who decided it's fate could only run to what was marketed with one bullet everything else at the time sucked in comparison, every one of the guys I know who had one in that era lived it with that one bullet, hated it with everything else at that time.
