Does anyone make premium brass for the 264 WM?

At one point in time I could not find or afford 257 WBY brass, so I just ran 264WinMag or 7mmRemMag through my 257 WBY dies and they chambered just fine. They came out about 50 thou shorter but affter a few firings grew to specs so all you are doing is the opposite run the WBY brass through your 264WM dies and trim they extra length.
There is more to it than that, but what sets a WBY apart is it's "Grand Canyon" of free bore.

300 Win Mag brass will size down. It maybe cheaper than other brass cartridges, because of high volume of uses. It's my go to brass for most belted mag cases. 338 Win Mag brass will work too. Just be sure you anneal the cases.
 
So your best option will be Peterson or adg 7 mag, way better than the other options. But you said you want proper head stamp, that pretty much lays it out there.....get Norma.

Unless feenix has good luck with the prvi. My dad used some in a 6.5x55, it seemed decent, but as expected, wasn't as good as lapua as far as toughness, but still good, seemed tougher than nosler.
 
If you are loading different rifle that are 264 of any other calibers using the same cartridge. You can mark the base of the case with finger nail polish. Like mark 7mm or 300 or the Mag. There is several different ways to indicate which brass goes to what rifle. I have 4 different 25-06, 3 different 308 norma Mag, and 3 338 W. Mag, and 2, 220 swifts that I load for. It's not that hard to track. A different coding for different rifles that it's being used for. if I am having a hard time getting cases for a rifle, I use different brass if compatible to convert to a different cartridge.

There is no brass made for the 270-264 Win Mag brass so I have 250 pieces of Peterson 7MM Rem Mag coming for mine. all I have to do is neck down 0.007".

I realize that. Just trying to help. Just about any belted mag brass can be resize to conform another caliber.
 
Mike, very true. some takes more steps, more annealing, and more forming dies. the simplest for this thread's caliber is the 7MM R/M. Now if Peterson will just send me the brass I need; things will be great.. and more tot he point, Mike from Texas will have his brass to reform to 264 W/M.

Thanks Feenix. I've never used the Quality Cartridge brass but back before the 6.5-300 Weatherby came back into favor I received less than good feedback from shooters that had used it. At the time they were the only ones offering properly headstamped brass.

Copy that! We shall see; I figure I give them a try and experience it myself.
 
Gosh and I thought us 300 WSM owners got no love. Looks like you 264 WM guys have it rough but at least you can neck down a great piece of brass we 300 WSM guys have no such luxury. Since Norma stopped making it (thankfully I grabbed a bunch) our only options are Hornady & WW only two ever in stock and FED rarely in stock. Nosler I think makes 300WSM and I've learned not to regard internet sources anything BUT infallible but I've heard to much negative about newer Nosler brass (to soft) to buy it without more research first.
