When the 264 Win came out, it was loaded from the factory with a 2 diameter bullet. The shank of the bullet that was in the case neck was full diameter. The section of bullet exposed was slightly smaller, so as not to contact the lands.
I am wondering if some of the newer 264 diameter bullets aren't made that way. If so, they might be jamming in the lands at the throat of the barrel, radically increasing pressure.
