A comparison of the 264WM to the other 6.5's...
+26gr over a 260, which already holds plenty of capacity for the heaviest in 26cal bullets.
+17gr over a 6.5x55, the edge of practical.
+14gr over a 6.5-284, which is a barrel burner.


I was looking at northland, and he does have the following in stock...I still don't have a 260 caliber gun...damn it, i'll be up all night looking at different cartridges...but good call on swapping bolt heads...didn't think about that....
