[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1345536, member: 10178"] Most of the load data for the 264 win mag is done with a 24" barrel.That is the reason that velocity is so low. It is my belief that they need a minimum of 26" to start doing their thing. Mine has a 27 3/4" barrel. I did not have this rifle built but picked it up from a friend who just had it built that wanted a rifle that was a safe queen that I had so we traded. My rifle has a 9 twist, I would have had an 8 twist barrel if I was having it built. My buddy had a 28" blank and the smith only had to sacrifice 1/4" which was great. [/QUOTE]
