264 Win mag....

Looking for reloading dies for 264 Win. Mag we have checked the usual places. Does anyone have a clue where to find these.

Call baton rouge reloading supply. They have a pretty good inventory usually. With the way stuff is now who knows, but thats what I'd try first.

I don't know your usual places, but in addition to Midsouth, I'd suggest checking:
Natchez Shooters
Widener's
Grafs and Sons
BrownellsI
Midway USA
I don't have a 264 WM so I can't vouch for doing this, but what about converting 7 RM brass to 264 WM? They're basically the same case except for the inside neck diameter. One might be able to use a 7 RM full length resizing type S die and the appropriate neck bushing to go from 7 mm to 6.5 mm. That's what I do when making brass for my 20 Practical. The 20 P uses standard 223 Rem brass that I neck size to 20 caliber using a Redding FL type S sizing die, plenty of lube and the proper size neck bushing. I also remove the depriving pin, expander ball and depriming stem. Your reformed brass neck would need to be checked to sure it's not too thick. If you check the internet I bet you'll find something about this possible conversion.
Keep us updated and good luck.

I have a 1964 Winchester model 70 .264 . Bought off my dads friend when I was 13 for $75 back in the late 90’s. Such a great rifle. Was my primary deer rifle until about two years ago.

I've never personally done it but research says 7mm Rem Mag brass can be made into 264 Win Mag brass with a pass through a 264 die. Would be much easier to find than 264 I'm sure. Check Gunbroker for new and once fired brass if you haven't already.

i have a 264 mag Iwill not pay 50 bucks a box for ammo
Posted on 5/16/21 at 12:32 pm to ole man
I doubt you could find any that cheap. Belted mags are easy to find over $100 a box unfortunately.

The .264 Win Mag shares the same parent cartridge, the .375 H & H, as the 7MM Rem. Mag. The hull dimensions are almost the same except of course for the bullet mouth being larger on the 7 Mag. You most likely know somebody with a 7 Mag you could get a few hulls from, run 2-3 of them through your .264 dies and check them to see how they chamber in your rifle. If they work and you decide to use some you’ll probably need to trim the overall length a little but maybe not, you’ll just have to measure a re-sized hull and compare it to what your loading manual shows for the .264
I had a .264 Winchester model 70 XTR back in the late ‘80’s, it was a long range tack driver for about 400-450 rounds and then it did exactly what the loading books said it might, it burned the throat out and after that it would only hold a couple shots in a group and as the barrel heated the next 3-4 shots would do good to stay in a 6” circle at 100 yds. It did fine for hunting as long as you didn’t need over 2 precise shots, fortunately I never had to shoot a whitetail twice with it.

I have a 20-round box (mixed Remington Core-Lokt: 11 140-grain; 9 100-grain), and an over half full box of spent brass (13).
Anyone interested?

Well here is another round I have never heard of. Amazing

Bump...
No takers? Just trying to find these rounds and brash a good home rather than dumping them at my local gun range next time I go back.
