It's to the 264 as the 280 is to the 7mm rem mag. Gets you about 90 percent of the way there but I believe you can use much easier to find 270 win brass and neck it run it through the sizing die. If you had someone cut you a 6.5-06 improved chamber it would cut the difference between them about in half.Great cal. Ever hear of 6.5'06?

6.5 Creedmoor....Have heard lots of great things about that caliber. I would definitely be considering it if I were going to buy a new rifle, but I already have these ones so I may as well make use of what I've got for now!

One of the guys in our Utah camp whacked a nice 6X6 at medium range with the 6.5-284. Busted him up good. I was left impressed!I sure hope to get the opportunity to chase bulls with it! My grand plan is to draw an observatory bull tag (it's where both my dad and grandpa took their first elk which were bulls) and to hopefully tag a bull with the .264. My dad made the stock for it and my grandpa took his first elk with it. It's wishful thinking, but, it's good to have a goal!

Here's a 140gr SMK @ 2850 fps smashing through a bull elk @742 yds. With the velocity advantage of the win mag, you could assume similar results at about 950 yds.....Wow :o I'm sold!

The 264WM is a good round. It can be a little finicky at times, but overall its a performer. Another thought would be a 6.5-06AI. Gives almost he same performance with less powder and more barrel life. Run 140's in either and it will do the job if your shot placement is good.
The 6.5-06AI will probably be my next project, hard to find anything not to like about it......
It's one of the most over looked rounds out there. I build a bunch of them and have never had a complaint yet on performance.

I just watched The Best of the West with John Porter. The shooter used a 264 at 690 yards on an Elk, DRT ! Forgot, they were at 10'000 feet in Wyoming.
Remember this thread? http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,158322.msg2093402.html#msg2093402 :chuckle:
I sort of like BOTW. Find it entertaining. Haven't watched an episode in a few years so haven't seen that one. Might need to visit my brother so I can watch it.

I remember it. But I was talking about the killing abilities of the 264, not the show itself. Personally, I don't watch hardly any shows anymore because they're all about, infomercials for products now. Plus, hunting out of a shack, with sliding windows, heat etc isn't really hunting to me.

I realized that. My thought process rarely runs in a straight line. Sorry ;)

Neither does mine, as you can tell by some my irrational, rational ramblings..... :tup:
