[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1082526, member: 10429"] So what is a good average velocity for a 264 win mag. I like the ideal of the 6.5-06 improved but using the 264 win mag with the 140 berger shouldn't you be able to get 3200fps pretty easy and have a accurate load also or is the 6.5-06 impoved superior to the 264 win mag. Reason being is I thought my 6.5-284 norma would be a little faster than what it is. Its running about 2850fps. I was hoping to get 3000 out of it but best I seen so far with out really pressuring the brass is 2850. I have done the retumbo load and driven to 2940 but the load was not as accurate. I've been thinking about changing up also. The 6.5-284 is on a long action already and I could probably get a smith to screw on another barrel and head space it. I think it would be a pretty easy swap to the 6.5-06 improved for me. Its a savage 116 long action. I'm not sure if the mag will fit the 264wm and I'm pretty sure I have to change out the bolt face as well. [/QUOTE]
