  Gunnersden.com/Rifles/264 Winchester Magnum
The.264 Winchester Magnum was one of a series of short belted magnums developed by winchester, it was officially introduced to the public in 1959 by winchester.
The 264 winchester magnum is an excellent, accurate, and flat shooting cartridge that is capable of taking any game in the lower 48 states and is one of the more powerful 26 caliber cartridges, when loaded with 140 grain bullets at 3100 fps.
The 264 winchester magnum when loaded with 129 grain bullets recoil is quite minimal and controllable when loaded with 140 grain bullets the recoil increases quite a bit, a good recoil pad fitted to the rifle will tame the recoil before it gets to your shoulder.

 Winchester
Winchester’s Supreme line of handgun ammunition is offered in a number of fine hunting cartridges that include the 357 Magnum, 41 and 44 Remington Magnums, 45 Winchester Magnum, and the awesome 454 Casull.
The 41 magnum from my Smith and Wesson 657 with a 4x scope and the 44 magnum from my Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter wearing a 2x scope, both scopes were Leupold EER Another round included in these test is the 45-70 Government.
Winchester markets these rounds as suitable for thin-skinned game such as White-tailed deer and wild hogs and I believe they are right on with this recommendation.

 Midwest Magnum
Their pressures are higher, I have not seen accuracy to consistently match that of the.300 Winchester Magnum with 180- and 190-grain bullets, and their fatter cases do something that nobody seems to have noticed.
Magnum cartridges (named after the oversize "magnum" bottle of champaign) used to be somewhat longer than "standard" cartridges such as the.30-06.
Many of the older magnums are chambered in rifles that have 26-inch barrels, and the short magnums (typically 23- and 24-inch barrels) cannot equal their velocity.

 AMT 9mm Magnum
As with the 10MM Magnum, all loads developed for the 9MM Magnum were strictly arrived at by looking at other cartridges, such as the 9MM, the.38 Super, the.38 Special, and the.357 Magnum, and trying to make a scientific guess as to what would work.
All loads were assembled with Winchester WSPM primers and all loads assembled proved that it is very difficult to find a bad load for the 9MM Magnum and especially with 115 grain bullets.
The IAI 9MM Magnum is not so bulky that it could not be made into a four- or five-inch barreled carry gun, but the since it is neither a double action pistol, nor can it be carried cocked-and-locked, it is unlikely to be pressed into service as a defensive gun.

The 300 Winchester Magnum was developed by winchester based off of their own.338 win.mag.
The 300 winchester magnum is one of the few cartridges that really make the case for free boring and a longer action, with bullets seated deeply in the cartridge case it's full potential can not be realized by the limited case capacity of deep seated bullets.
The 300 winchester magnum when loaded with 180 grain bullets recoil is quite substantial but is still controllable, a good recoil pad fitted to the rifle is a must have.

My rifle that day was a 1963-vintage M70 Winchester in.300 Winchester Magnum, the original short magnum with a belt, the magnum to which the current crop of shorter.30 magnums is most often compared.
Winchester had apparently learned a marketing lesson from Remington, whose 7mm Magnum had quickly eclipsed the.264 Winchester Magnum launched three years earlier.

 Winchester Short Magnum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Winchester Short Magnum, or WSM, refers to a "family" of cartridges developed in the early 2000s by the U.S. Repeating Arms Company, the maker of Winchester rifles and one of the oldest firearms manufacturers in the United States.
All of the WSM cartridges are based on the 404 Jeffery non-belted magnum cartridge which is shortened to fit a short rifle action (such as a.308 Winchester).
Lazzeroni's short magnums (7.21 Lazzeroni Fireball and Tomahawk) were designed to operate in a short-action rifle, instead of requiring a long action.

Introduced by Winchester in 1963 it is the most popular member of a family of magnum cartridges consisting of the 264, 300, 338, and the massive 458 all introduced by Winchester.
The 300 Winchester Magnum’s case, like the other members of its family, is based on shortened version of the HandH case.

 Winchester Short Magnum -- Browning Information and News
The Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) cartridge concept proved that “magnum” doesn’t always mean bigger.
To enter the realm of high velocity and heavy knockdown energy, beefed-up, belted magnum cartridges and heavy, long action rifles were required.
However, by introducing long-action, belted magnum ballistics to the world of lightweight, short-action rifles, WSM calibers have effectively rewritten the rules that govern what a hard-hitting, high velocity rifle can be.

Back in 1956, Winchester was still a powerful U.S. company, manufacturing rifles and shotguns in an enormous red brick complex that during World War II had accommodated 20,000 workers.
The next year Winchester announced a long-awaited short.300 (at 2.62 inches, the case was slightly longer than the others and Norma’s.308 Magnum, which preceded it by three years).
Winchester is betting on continued interest, because the new Super Short Magnums will get their own M70 and Browning A-Bolt actions.

And on the heels of the Winchester short.30 comes news of.270 and 7mm variants from Winchester and short magnums in.30 and 7mm from Remington.

 300 Winchester Magnum
The.300 Winchester Magnum was introduced in 1963, and it is still one of the most popular magnum cartridges today.
The 300 Winchester Mag generates serious recoil in lightweight hunting rifles when firing bullets 180 grains or heavier.
The main problem with handloading the 300 Winchester Mag is case expansion that occurs at the pressure ring "just above" the belt.

 .22 Magnum (.22 WMR)
For the handgunner, one of the neatest of these is the single action "convertible" revolver that is supplied with two interchangable cylinders, one for.22 LR cartridges and one for.22 Mag.
The power of the Magnum, coupled with the violent expansion provided by its JHP bullet, makes it too much cartridge for shooting cottontail rabbits and squirrels at close range unless only head shot are taken.
This is because the Magnum operates at pressures above those deemed safe for simple blowback actions (the type of action used for all autoloading.22 LR rifles).

 WSM. Ballistics beyond belief. -- Browning Information and News
The introduction of the Winchester Short Magnum family of cartridges in 2000 proved to the world that the word “Magnum” doesn’t always mean bigger.

 .30-338 Winchester Magnum @ www.reloadersnest.com
It was created by simply necking the 338 Winchester Magnum to 30 caliber and almost exactly duplicates the 308 Norma Magnum (Norma's commercial offering has slightly less case taper and is slightly longer).
Evidently to avoid direct competition with existing 308 Norma Magnum and to better compete with the well established, and substantially longer, 300 Weatherby Magnum, Winchester opted to increase case length and push the shoulder forward on their new 30 caliber magnum (actual usable capacity increase was marginal).
Ballistics are very similar to the 300 Winchester Magnum, despite the slight reduction in powder capacity.

 Still Holding On: AMT's AutoMag II .22 Magnum Rimfire Auto
Winchester brand ammo did not exhibit this problem, which probably resulted from differences in the brass recipe used in the cartridge cases.
Up until that time it was only CCI and Winchester with hollowpoint and solid-bullet offerings, but the round I once referred to in an article as "the sleeper" has awakened in the minds of the shooting public and the ammo companies.
The.22 Magnum is still a very effective round for a variety of uses, from target shooting to vermin shooting to small-game hunting and even self-defense, and the AMT AutoMag II was one of the finest.22 Magnum handguns ever produced.

The 1899.38 Special was lengthened to the.357 Magnum in 1935, the 1908.44 Special was lengthened to the.44 magnum in 1955, and they became two of the most popular sixgun combinations available.
The.45 Winchester Magnum cartridge is three tenths of an inch longer than the standard.45 ACP cartridge and theoretically at least can be reloaded with.45 ACP dies.
Muzzle velocity of the factory Winchester round clocked 1392 feet per second from the six-inch barreled Grizzly and compares with the Federal 240 jacketed hollow point.44 Magnum round that goes 1465 feet per second from a seven and one-half inch Ruger Bisley and 1380 feet per second from the five and one-half inch Ruger Redhawk.

Winchester's.458 Magnum was designed to drive a 500 grain bullet at a MV of about 2100 fps with ME of 4895 ft. lbs.
Obviously, since the.45-70 and.458 Winchester Magnum can use the same bullets, the sectional density (SD) and bullet frontal area will be exactly the same for either caliber.
