RE: WTT pre 64 winny
Might be tough trade! The 257 pre 64's are running high,the 264 is not easy to come by either but the 257 is much more user friendly.I had a hard time building a load for my 264 but now I have them it's shooter...just slaps so hard.Be easier to maybe find a 270 pre 64!My dad just had a 270 barrel put on a 243 action(feather weight) since he likes them to have as a shooter.

RE: WTT pre 64 winny
Don't have the powder info handy but the thing with the 264 is it takess such small changes to throw them into a tailspin!We have some old dual diameter 140 grain bullet,they were Winchester manufacture so they are not made anymore.I had the same bullet loaded in 2 different brand cases and it scattered them! I don't know if all were like mine but you could change one component brand and you could tell on the group.I bought a box of factory 100 grain shells just to shoot for the cases,at 100 yards I would be lucky to hit a deer with them verses my 140 gr reloads,and my reloads are very consistant 1/2" groups!Now I know why the 7mm Mag took off.The Remington had better bullet selection and mo betta consistancy! No way would I run out of my pet load and hope I could buy a factory box and go hunting without resiting.I can get the loads out of the book in safe if you want to try them!
