[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 495931, member: 10832"] 150gr is it for the Scirocco in 7mm. Cornstalker, the 264 WM is not a 2900-3000 fps cartridge. 3200 fps is easily obtained with reloading and almost every OTC load is that fast as well. Using 2900-3000 fps for the 264 WM is not an apples-to-apples comparison. Not even close. And the big point being made in this thread is that IF traditional hunting bullets are used, ie bullets that hold a significant amount of their weight to ensure adequate penetration through bone and lots of tissue, then the BC's of the .264's vs. the .284 are not comparable either. The .264's win out by a considerable margin. Remember we are talking long range shooting here. Comparing ballistics out to 5-600 yards isn't what we are talking about. [/QUOTE]
