I aquired a 264 WM that doesn't appear to have been fired. With "the standards " being still thin and the exotic being hit and miss at best,the thing to do is just make some brass ....... A mag case is a mag case except for 450.....right?
I just gave no thought to a 300 WM case growing a full 10th of an inch in stepping it down to 264. Maybe it is because of all the sloppy GI guns I've had or the NATO over 308 or even the 8x57 from 06'. Even the 280 AI from 06' wasn't a big deal but the 264 from 300 via 275 H&H grew a 10th .I knew that the H&H taper might be an issue but with the shoulder push it all looked good but the bolt just won't close on that long neck. Now if I had a universal neck die with inserts and being able to knock it down to 25 and COW form them back,yep that'd be nice.
Off to the trimmer,while I wait quietly for the 258-120 NOE to run and take measures for the Buckshot dies.
