[QUOTE="68w, post: 1325808, member: 97869"] I'm actually considering a 264 wm right now. Wanted a flat shooting deer rifle without a ton of recoil, which was actually 257 Roy or 264wm but better .264 bullets available. I will get a 7mm sometime too but more likely a fast twist 280 or 280ai. They cover a lot of the same territory 6.5 85-160gr and 7mm 100-195 gr. 264 has less recoil and shoots flatter higher BC hunting weight projectiles for coyotes and deer. Big 7 can shoot heavier higher BC projectiles but either would be quite fine for anything but big bear. If in bear country I'd rather have the 7 with the heaviest toughest bullet I could load. Where the 7 shines is availability... All kinds of rifles and ammo options. 264 options are very few and pricey, likely have to reload to use it often, and not likely to just find ammo laying around stores for it. My friend has a 7rm he has had and shot for years, and he loves it. When he comes over to shoot coyotes and I hand him a 243 or a 223 he has a smile and a sigh of relief, not that he would admit it. Without a brake it can be a thumper. [/QUOTE]
