[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1833249, member: 10178"] I also would say 264 Win mag all the way. I would never build a rifle depending on one specialty bullet no matter how great the bullet was. Crap happens and tomorrow that bullet may be gone for good. 264 Win mag with at least a 26" barrel. I have one with a 27 3/4" which was all the smith could get out of the 28" blank. I personally did not have the rifle built, a friend did. He chose a 9" twist like Winchester used. I would have chosen an 8" twist. My buddy only shot a box and a half of Winchester factory 140 gr bullets through the rifle before he decided that he wanted a 270 Win. rifle that he had been trying to get from me for years that I offered to trade him for it. Because white tail deer across big bean fields was my intended purpose after long deliberation I decided to give the 130 gr Accubond a try with Retumbo powder. It went together like ice cream and apple pie. 3350 fps with no problem and sub MOA accuracy. Shoots like a laser beam and kills like lightening struck close up to far off with no bullet blow up at close range. [/QUOTE]
