[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1456321, member: 10178"] Long story how I ended up with my 264 Win mag but it had less than 40 rounds through it when I got it from my hunting buddy. It is a Rem. 700 action with a Shilen #4 chrome molly 27 3/4" long 9 twist barrel in a Hoge full aluminum action bed stock. It is strictly a deer hunting "bean field" rifle. Because of the 9 twist and at the time the only Nosler Accubond bullets I could get was the 130 gr even though the rifle had previously shot great with Winchester factory 140 gr ammo I went with the 130 AB. This rifle has a somewhat tight chamber because the FL sizing die really does not have much sizing to do except the neck. I made my cases out of Winchester once fired 7 mm Rem. mag cases. I am using CCI 250 primers, 66.5 grs Retumbo (I got ejector marks at 67 grs) 130 AB COAL 3.450 which is 20 thousands off the lands (looks like a Saturn 5 rocket), averages 3350 fps and 1/2 MOA accuracy. I decided not to do any further load work with any other bullets because I am extremely satisfied with this load and what it does in the field on deer. Shoots like a laser beam and every deer 25+ has been DRT from 25 to a touch over 500 yards. Sounds like you have some good velocities with the heavy bullet, hope great accuracy will go with it. I just love most any .264 Cal rifle. I have a few different ones. Keep us informed on your work up. [/QUOTE]
