[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1622529, member: 109476"] I have four 264 mags. My first one I still have is a Rem 700 BDL I bought new in 1964 . (Ya been around awhile ). It still wears it's factory 23.5" bbl blue coated stainless Bbl & still will shot an honest 1" group. A custom 26" stainless on a Win push feed action with an "APEX" 26" stainless cut rifled Bbl. 1/8 twist from the early 1980's. . Sam May the old Apex barre owner is now long gone. A factory Win. Extreme Weather 264 26" 1/9 twist. I love this Win. Lastly a Ruger stainless Hawkeye 24" factory 1/8 twist. I have several other 6.5 rifles with 1/8 twist. Shooting every thing from the Sierra 85gr to the Sierra now discontinued 156gr semi spt. All have shot great in both the 1/8 & 1/9 twist. I mainly use these rifles for elk using the Barnes 120gr TSX. Retumbo or VV-24N41 drives this bullet to about 3450fps ( 26" bbl ) with good case life. My son & a good friend use H-US 869 with equal success. We take elk each season & this bullet has never failed us. For deer we use the Sierra 120gr C&C bullet with equal success. Puts mature muley's down with no problem. I live at 7630' elevation & have my own range. I do notice at around 400yds my bullets tend to strike about 2" flatter that the book drop tables indicate. My wife uses a 6.5x308 wildcat ( built long before the 260 Rem came out ) 22" stainless Douglas 1/8 twist.. Shoots any of the previously mentioned bullets into tiny groups.
