[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1787528, member: 109476"] Have been loading, shooting & hunting with the 264 since 1964. Have taken tons of game with it From antelope to deer & elk. With the heavier bullets VV24N41 which is a tick slower than N570 Available from Powder Valley for $209 , 8 lbs only. High velocity & small groups. 3225 fps with 140 class bullets & 26" Bbl. Next 3455 FPS with Rel 33 & Barnes 120gr TSX or Hammer 121gr also 26" bbl. These mono's have proven to be top notch elk bullets. As to the 143 ELDX I had it blow to pieces on a deer I shot this past season with my 6.5x06. Under 100yds. Lost a lot of meat. Hit a rib going in & created havoc. Remember the ELDX is only a C&C bullet, not magic . Not even bonded with a long unsupported explosive thin nose My experience is that you will get far more shots under 200yd than over. As to the 28" Bbl , my opinion not needed & overly cumbersome if you are actually going into the field hunting. Looks good on paper, unhandy in in the field. Find my self using my 24" 264's far more than the 26" versions. Have had 28" models, but no more. Based on years of experience.. Just a note Rel 33 drives the Hammer 121 gr to 3419 out of my 24" 264. Easy , not the slightest sign of pressure. Beats Rel 26 considerably. it's worth. [/QUOTE]
