Re chamber 26 nosler?

[tribb]

What are the pitfalls of re chambering a 26 nosler to a 264 Winchester ? A new magazine and or bottom metal plus setting barrel back? Are there other problems associated with this procedure? Thank you all for any help you can provide.

I'm sure there's more educated people than me that can confirm but I'm not sure you can do it. The 26 nosler is quite a bit fatter than the 264 WM.

Yep. Can go from 264WM to 26N but not the other way.

Why would one want to go down to a .264?
Less velocity less energy
Should go up.
To the 6.5 Prometheus

To take this a step farther the feed rails are too wide wide. You only option for a wm on this action would be single shot.
