[QUOTE="fireroad, post: 430277, member: 17359"] I appreciate the input, but I think you are underestimating the .264 bullets, especially when comparing them to .277 bullets. If you run the numbers you will find that, while the 270 out performs the 260 until about 300 yards, the performance gain is not significant. 264 bullets of the same weight as the .277 have a bit higher BC that allows them to retain more energy and velocity downrange. Basically, I would be just as confident with a 260 as a 270 on elk at the same ranges and bullet weights. I like the idea of a 130gr TTSX...wish they made one in 6.5mm.... [/QUOTE]
