Thread: 264 winmag testing

Hi All ,
Not long ago i picked up a second hand semi custom Savage 112 BVSS in 264 winmag!!
Its been pillar bedded / rifle basix trigger and a Border cut 25.5 inch barrel .
Been waiting for my Hausken moderator and at last i was able to test the 130 grain tipped matchkings!!
Early days but heres some photos...
All the best ,
Ray.

Certainly some promise there razor
How fast did your 68 and 68.5 go

Hi,
How much was the husken moderator? And is it any better than the local alternatives?

Shooting good, is there much difference between the 270/ 130gr and the 264/ 130gr, judging by those velocities there isn't. Did you get a marked increase in velocity with the higher powder charge?

You should get 3300 easy with the 130's I get 3100 with a mild load of N560, N570 would probably be better,I'll be trying the 142 Eld when I get back home mine's an old Parker Hale action with a1-8 twist barrel and really likes the 140 amax and gameking.

Hi All ,
And thanks for your replies!!!
To answer some of your questions , the hausken was £250 here in the UK .
Heres the data with the 130 grain tipped matchkings / federal 215 magnum primers / Retumbo powder.
66 grains = average velocity =2972fps
66.5 grains = 2997fps
67 grains = 3023fps
67.5 grains = 3050fps
68 grains = 3069fps
68.5 grains = 3109fps
69 grains = 3130fps
............................................
Have loaded some at 69.5 and 70 grains to see how they shoot and velocity!!
Any more 264 winmag shooters here??? if so lets see your rigs
All the best ,
Ray.

Here is Molly (Mjölnir),

Howa 1500 action, Shilen Select Match barrel. Wears a Leupold VX3i 4.5-14x30 CDS now.



Spiker at 100m, nearly took his head off with this low neck shot and the 90 grain Speer TNT...



Speer TNT 90 Gr are fairly flat shooting and flatten the rabbits



Current load is Hornady 120 GR GMX 70gr ADI 2217 for 3480fps.

Absolute death ray...

Hey Razor mind if I ask we're in the uk you are?
Wasn't you a had a yarn to the other day at Dauntsey Guns?

In case Razor doesn't see this (as not tagged), I can reveal that he is in darkest Cornwall

Thanks Pengy

Hi ALL ,
First of all , many thanks for the photo and replies!!
Not been on here for a few weeks ( naughy boy lol ) and hope you are all keeping well!!!
Bought some 142 grain Hornady EDL-X to try in her and unfortunately she does not like them - as they are £60 a box here it was sure a pisser!!! lol
Picked up some 130 grain Hornday EDL-M and they sure look promising!!!
All the very best ,
Ray.
