[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1532089, member: 30902"] Unless you want to replace your bolt you're going to need to stick with magnums, belted or otherwise. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the .264wm. IF you don't mind wildcats and want extreme performance similar to your .257 there's always the 6.5 STW, 6.5-375 Ruger and 6.5LRM. My 6.5LRM is running 140's at a bit over 3300fps and 130's right at 3400fps. If I were building from scratch I'd probably go with the stright 6.5-375 Ruger. You'll get a bit better barrel life with the last or with the .264wm but you're not likely to hit 3200fps with the wm without really pushing it hard. I've been running RL33 in the LRM but I may try RL26 if someone running quickload will tell me I can get away with doing so without pressure problems. [/QUOTE]
