[QUOTE="Bullseye, post: 192207, member: 3351"] I've been shooting a 264 for around 9 years now and shot a number of deer and pronghorn. I started using 100 gr. ballistic tip's but quickly went to 120's... I was pushing them fast and obviously they weren't the best for close range shots. I switched to Barnes 120 XLC's and had very good results from close range to 535 yards. With a max charge of R-22 I got amazing velocities with the XLC. The triple shocks came out and I tried them as well. The accuracy was good but I could not get near the velocity as I was getting with the XLC's without too much pressure so I stuck with the "blue bullets".. though now I believe the 120's are not available. I'm working on better long range bullets now and the 140 SST's are looking promising but for deer I am going to start loading AMax's. I tried Retumbo last fall but couldn't get over 3050 fps in a 28" barrel. I think I'll go back to R22. That's my experience. If you search past posts you'll find quite a few threads on this great caliber. [/QUOTE]
