[QUOTE="Wookie316, post: 423512, member: 18820"] I like the 264, but with that being said they can be very hard to find a load for. But once you do it will be all smiles. I have lost my love for the 264 since H870 powder has been discontinued. That powder really shines in a 264 with a 140gr bullet. With today's bullets you can shoot a 140gr out of a 7mm faster & usually they will group with very little load development. I had 2 rifles built last year. A 7mm for my Dad & a 264 WM for myself & I must say with all the grief I had with my 264, I wish I had built two 7mm's instead. Some shoot 120's out of a 264 with good success, I much prefer to shoot the 140's & take advantage of the high BC of that bullet. Either opinion is not wrong, it is just two different ways to approach the 264. This is my 264, which is now a 24 1/2" barreled 6.5mm-300 Win Mag. The caliber change is a whole other story we can get into at some other time. I can push a 140gr 3300 FPS now though the way it is :D [IMG]http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss108/jhowdle/_JAY7472.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss108/jhowdle/_JAY7473.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss108/jhowdle/_JAY7475.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss108/jhowdle/_JAY7476.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
