They only made the early Sako’s with a 26” barrel for a short time before they went to a 24”. I don’t understand why.

Huge fan of mine, bought it here on the 'fire in fact. pre-64, stainless barrel with the iron coating. Have taken a few deer with it, both whitetail and mule.
Presently on the lookout for an x-bolt or EW in the same chambering. I generally shoot 130AB's over RL-33, but think that 7828 SSC is good also.

Built one out of a shot out 300 Win Mag Rem 700

28 inch stainless, fluted McGowen #6 contour which is about Sendero size. They had on their website for $95.00 unchambered.
1/8 twist.
Loading it with WC872 from GI Brass (close to H870) and 130 Accubonds at 3350.
6 Missouri whitetails with it from 40-350 yards and only one has taken a step.

Those 130 Accubond are just fantastic out of a 264 win mag on deer.

Just can't say enough about the 130AB performance on game. Really an amazing bullet, wouldn't hesitate to use them on elk either.

Correct.

Military ball powder used to load 50 BMG and 30MM ammo.
8 lbs of it is $55.00

Jeff Bartlett. Here's the link https://www.gibrass.com/gunpowder.html

Actually 20mm Vulcan pull down surplus powder.

869 is about the best powder for the 26 Nosler, IMO. BTW, not the only one with that opinion.

872 and 869 are identical in my loading experience. Same charge, same velocity, same bullets.

And, as noted, a lot cheaper.

You don't see data because, unlike a canister powder, supply is not certain. Get it while Jeff's got it to sell.

BTW, he's a good guy to talk to, knows his stuff.

rgrx what load and bullet were you using to drop the big bull? I’m using Retumbo in both of my 264’s. I’m using old 140 grain Partitions in my Sako. 130 Accubond in the Sendero

Yeah. I'm a fan of all yalls 264 WinMags. Not sure I'd want to tote one around the mountains. But as a kid pouring over the Shooter's Bible, always thought it would be the ultimate rifle for shooting.

Do most of them weight 15 pounds? Mine weigh no more than a 30-06 or a 270 in like/comparable rifles.


It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

I don't know. I was thinkin they need a 26" barrel, so 9-ish pounds maybe.

I’ll weigh my Sako tomorrow sometime and report back. It’s not heavy at all. The Sendero on the other hand is hefty.
