[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1707030, member: 10429"] So basally its a redesigned 264 Win mag. Probably a little better design, hopefully better twist rate, but with a Weaterby price tag an a very light carry rifle. Which sounds great but with a price. Not bad but I still would prefer one of the long or shot actions Sherman's since they can do the same or more with less powder. Hopefully the RPM will have a longer neck an keep some the heat in the case and not erode the throat like some the other, like the 26 Nos, or 6.5x300Wby. I asked one of the reps at the Weatherby booth and he told me about 800 to 1000 shots before your seeing accuracy loss. But if you kelp the barrel really cool and very low string of shot like 2 back to back you might make 1200, an I followed up with if you buying something that breaths a lot of fire then you should know what your getting into and we both laughed a little.
