My Deer Rifle

[DrHenley]

Custom built on Ruger #3 action.
Boyd buttstock blank,
Forend was made from scratch from a block of walnut
26" Pac-Nor barrel, Palma profile
Chambered for 264 RLB

The 264 RLB is a wildcat based on the 6.8 SPC case, necked down to 6.5mm and the shoulder blown forward to 40 degrees.

Pictured is a 223 next to my 264 RLB deer load.


130 grain Nosler Accubond
33 grains Reloder 17
Silver State Armory 6.8 SPC brass (small primer)
Wolf 223 Small Rifle Primers
2540 fps

The case capacity is only about 3 grains more than the 223, but the ballistics are on par with 6.5 Swede factory loads.

And of course I can't leave out my aught six:


Browning B-78 High Wall.
30-06

And then there are all of those safe queens...
