20", 22" or 24"?? :beatdeadhorse:

I'd steer clear of Proof barrels for a while. I've recently watched a couple of their barrels burn out so fast that nobody could explain it. The smiths who cut the barrels all said that they felt soft while chambering them. To be fair though, they shot great for 800 rounds before they just went off the rails.

For new projects, I still trying to figure out something to work on. I'm bored with everything I have but I can't come up with anything good to work on. It happens every couple of years; I get bored and have to come up with a new focus for the next round of guns.

i've been kind of itching for a .25-06, 6.5x55 or .280 of some kind.  getting burned out playing with my .264 mag, with a 24" barrel and 1-9 twist, i can't seem to really push it farther than 2900 fps with a 140gr bullet without going way outside of published loads.  burning 65gr of powder for 150fps faster than some people are getting with a 6.5 creedmoor is sort of depressing.

i've considered rebarreling it(either with a 26-28" .264 barrel, or 7mm, or 300 mag), reboring it to some big thumper like a .358 norma that i'll probably never need, or sell it to make room in the safe for something else.

BGT - what powders have you worked with in your 264WM? I'll admit I almost gave up on mine but finally landed on some magic.

I wanted to shoot the 143 ELD-X but couldn't find wwhat I was looking for with retumbo, H1000, or H50BMG. Could get to 3200 but not without blowing primer pockets. Accuracy and ES suffered as well.

After talking with Scott at Quarter Minute Magnums over in Idaho I switched to the Berger 140 VLD and H4831SC. Magic combo in the 264WM. I'm running a 3100 fps (26" tube) with bughole groups at 200 yards. ES is not qui perfect but under 20. That combo might be worth a try if your looking for options.
