Ivor........come back when you have the experience that Eagleye and I have and tell me the 264 doesn't beat the 270 hands down...........who gives a fat rats a$$ what the pressures are as long as it is contained in the brass case and one can use it several times !!! You guys and your meaningless pressure quotes. Do you have pressure testing equipment, if not then where do you dredge up these numbers, some computer program that can't possibly take all the variables into consideration, but by God it's gospel to you. Well it ain't to me, I load for every single rifle I own (and that's a lot) and each load is tailored to that rifle and cartridge and is worked up responsibly. I'm getting a little tired of keyboard experts telling me my loads produce 75 or 80,000 psi......sorry guys it ain't possible as the brass case will only withstand between 65 and 75,000 psi without ejecting it's primer. None of my loads eject their primers so...............I also use the best chronographing equipment available today, times 2, the Oehler 35P.
Ivor, have you ever even owned a 264 and loaded for it? I somehow doubt it, cause anyone who has owned and loaded for them has a whole different outlook on the 264. You are just quoting loading books and data aren't you? See and this is what really chokes me is trying to talk reason with someone who has never really done the loading and chrono'ing, but just chooses to quote books and computer programs, and berate those who have and tell them their velocities are impossible unless they are running pressures beyond the capability of the brass case. Between Eagleye and myself we have more than 90 years of loading experience over literally hundreds of cartridges, and we know things the manuals will never tell you. But hey buy a 270 and be happy believing it is every bit as good as a 264 Win Mag !!!
