264 win mag from 7mm weatherby brass

[2muchhp]

Can this be done? Seems I remember that the 257 weatherby works but what about the 7mm W

I've seen 300 Win Mag ammo fired in the 300 Weatherby and it blows out perfectly to the 300 Weatherby case with a short neck. But that is the opposite of what you are doing.

Because they head space on the belt, you can neck it down to .264 and not worry about shoulder headspace. If it fits in your chamber with no resistance upon the bolt closing, use a fireforming load and see what you get, IMO.

Yeah its worth doing some checking. I think the 270 weatherby will work as well. I wasn't quite sure how necking down .020 would work.
Good 264 brass (norma)seems to be impossible to find. It seems weatherby brass has always been good so thinking of going that route

Why not use 7mm Rem Mag or 338 Win Mag brass?

7mm Rem Mag seems it would be simple.

BTW, Grafs has lots of 264 brass in stock.

Could use those for sure but they didn't have it at the gun show I was at today
Grafts doesn't have Norma in anything I can use or at least I didn't see it

Are you looking to use Norma brass exclusively?

I wish I could its what I have now and would like more but doesn't seem like its around. My next choice that I can find would be weatherby. Of course any would go bang im just being picky, but may need to settle for whats iut there.

Thx

I have two boxes of the old W-W brass if you’re interested. 1970-1980 vintage, same lot number, unfired. $55 TYD.
