[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 1833897, member: 67552"] Have hunted with both for almost 3 decades and love them both, but...NOTHING beats the 257ROY on deer and goats to 500 yards. Yes the .264 is the clear choice if you are actually going need to shoot a lot of stuff past 500. If you are building a hunting gun and generally manage to get yourself within a quarter mile of the target a 10 twist with Accubonds, TSXs, Partitions, Sciroccos, or Ballistic tips will put a giant smile on your face. At the distances most game can be taken at, nothing wins the race against wind and gravity like the Bee. What's best is the .257 bullets these days are made specifically to...wait for it...kill deer sized game at high impact velocity! This combination makes for more Stiff legged tips without a step than with any other case I use. Truth be told, the 110 Accubond started in the neighborhood of 3500fps is awfully reliable to 600, but If you feel like your hunting area is just not gonna offer a shot under 500 in most cases you should probably roll with the ol .264.
