Well the 264 isn't stocked and ready to shoot yet. I'm still working on that.................. :mrgreen:
In the meanwhile,I had to scratch that 7STW itch.Two weeks ago I dropped off a 26 inch barreled Mdl 70 in 7 Rem Mag with my 'smith. I told him to ream it to 7STW. He told me it would take about two months to get it in the shop.
Well he got a hair up his backside.He called today.
My STW is ready to go.Gonna pick her up Saturday.
My intention is another long range whitetail thumper.(Or maybe another trip chasing elk is in the future :roll: )
My thinking is along the lines of the 160AB and some slow burning powder like H1000,RL25 or even the surplus powder known as WC872.(Same dope as AA8700 or H870 which are discontinued)
I can't see any reason to shoot anything lighter in this rifle,HOWEVER I do have a couple hundred 140ABs on the bench.
I know some of you fellas are loading this monster.
Point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance,
Howard
