[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 666017, member: 25383"] I shoot the 270mag, and wouldn't begin to think about buying a .264 mag. Even though cases are similar. Barrel life will be far greater with the 270 mag due to design alone. Then add to the fact the the ideal bullet for the .264 is probably the 140 grain bullet. That's where the 270 mag starts to show up, and then goes on from there. I'd imagine bullet construction is similar between the two, and plus the fact that your hunting deer. If it were me, I'd opt for the 7mm WBY mag. Here's why: a much better bullet selection, and a little better bullet construction alone. Looking at a couple loading manuals I saw that the 6.5-06 is fairly close to the .264 mag, and that alone would be a plus (the .264 is well known to be overbore). The 7mm mag will push a Nosler 175 grain bullet to 3,000 fps and faster. The 160 grain SST will do 3300fps with a .55 B/C. I see no contest here! gary [/QUOTE]
