Got a .264 win mag a while back. It is a 700 Remington action in a HS Precision stock. Barrel is a 26 inch Shilen match grade select, no.4 contour with a 1 in 8 inch twist. Also has a Shilen trigger and Sako extractor instead of the tiny Remington factory one.
Tried it with Remington 140 grain factory loads, not too impressive 1 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards off a benchrest. Just got a set of dies and a bunch of Winchester new brass. What type of bullets do you guys recommend for shooting of deer size game? I have had good luck with Nosler partitions in the past but there seem to be a whole new crop of high ballistic coefficient bullets on the market now. What about powder? I hear good things about Retumbo in the .264. Hoping for some feedback from .264 guys who have already developed good loads. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY FEEDBACK.
