[QUOTE="35 Whelen, post: 1761211, member: 105990"] Winchester did the biggest damage to the .264 Win. Mag. them selves in 1964 when redesigning the M70 they shortened the barrels on the .264 Win. Mag. from 26" to 22", so they were not getting the full velocity out of the cartridge as they should and people stopped buying them, Winchester did go back to the longer barrel but the damage was done and yes buy that time the 7mm Rem. Mag. (really the only cartridge Remington new how to market) had proven it self, and there for few seen the need to go back to the smaller caliber .264 Win. Mag. [/QUOTE]
