The ctg. made within 50fps of my 22" factory Winchester .264Mag, which required 20gr. MORE powder just to match my little round's speed with those bullets.

The barrel is four inches too short.

Exactly--not sure why so many think of the .264 W as the redheaded step child..i have used one off and on now for the past 3 years..it hammers deer and elk with authority..took one bull at 440 plus--down for the count with one 140gr Nosler accubond..

I was amused the other day as well looking through the new Nosler reloading manual --in ALL of their loads they show for the 264 W-they are using a 24" barrel..WTH?? are they that incompetent or just that ignorant??? and yet in some calibers where a 26" tube really isnt needed..they use one..wonder sometimes who is in charge to this stuff??

Personally I look forward to a new 6.5-- it is an amazing caliber..
