.264 Win Mag

[Downwindtracker2]

I doubt Handloader is easy to find in SA.And his posts to the 264 cult.So I will recap Johns choice of 140 bullets and it's use. He likes Speer,so he used their 140 in his tests and hunting. He shot a couple of deer with it,one under a 100m ,the other at 250m.Both times the bullet exited with a exit wound the size of a "silver dollar" with very little meat damage.

I have the Winchester handout when the 264 was introduced.It was designed around the 140.They felt the long range performace of the 140 made it the best choice.

I had such bad time with the FN barrel,I choose a BT.

John Barness powder results are very similar to mine,he too chose Ramshot Magnum with Accurate Mag-Pro second.By the "Made in SA" on the bottom I think Mag-Pro is made by SoChem. Ramshot is a made in Belgium.

I use my 264 to hunt Mule deer in large logging clear-cuts.
