[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 595757, member: 9253"] I don't think the contest is between the 260Rem and the 264 Win Mag. There's more of a contest is between the 260 Rem, 7mm-08, and 308 Win. Where the 260 Rem gives long range and low wind deflection while the the 7mm-08 and 308 trade that off for shorter range energy. The situation changes with the 264 Win mag, the 7mm Rem Mag, and the 300 Win Mag The larger case can provide enough energy to drive the heavier high BC bullets well beyond 1000 yards with more retained energy. With higher velocity the wind deflection and drop differences are less apparent between them. Of those six cartridges the 264 WM is definitely the hardest on barrels. It's acceptable if it's used for hunting, but it makes one not want to use it for practice. That really does make a difference when selecting a rifle. [/QUOTE]
