Finally changed my Remington 721 264WM barrel in 2010 which I have been shooting since 1963 But not because it was bad just because I wanted a 30" barrel. I abused it a lot over the years with 85 and 100gr bullets at max load. Its my favorite cartridge. Low recoil and hard hitting. In the new barrel I have hit 3100fps with 160gr Woodleigh bullets and am still testing loads.
