[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 672189, member: 505"] Let us know how it performs. My pet 264 STW shoots the 129 SST and 130 grain Cutting Edge over 3700 fps with .25 MOA accuracy. It has a 28" barrel. The Cutting Edge is probably the best choice because of the high BC and will not come apart from the high velocity/fast twist combination or hitting an animal at high velocity. This rifle has a few hundred rounds through it and barrel wear is not a factor so far. Just take care of it. Since you count on maybe 400 rounds through it I would consider the extra cost of the Cutting Edge bullets. Load work will be minimal since they are the easiest bullets to get accurate I have ever shot. Just load them to recommended depth and typically you are there. Very important when every shot is critical. You want to get your load as soon as possible. There is a good chance the bergers and sierras will come apart at your twist and velocity. They will out of my STW. Just very erratic at that velocity and twist. The hornady sst and the cutting edge is where I would look. [/QUOTE]
