[QUOTE="Sully2, post: 637868, member: 31820"] I use Hodgen powder and for the 264 Mag with a 140 gr slug they have ONE LOAD at 3000 FPS and nothing faster..?? A 140gr Hornady at 3000 fps at 500 yd has 2154 FPS velocity and 1442 ft lbs of energy The same slut from a 260 at 2700 fps has 1907 fps of velocity and 1131 lbs of energy. Granted less than the 264 but not the fantasmical amount of difference you imply. Personally if the animal wasnt as large as an elephant I personally wouldnt be cutting into it at 500 yds (Its referred to as "stalking") Maybe that explains it...maybe it dont suit you at all....I dont care which!
