[QUOTE="silvertip-co, post: 439399, member: 8712"] I carried a 264 win mag LH Sav 110DL from 1966 thru 1988 and reloaded for it a LOT( mostly 140gr over H870). Lest we all forget, the the 264 fell out of favor ( lead ballon comes to mind) when the "gun press" discovered ( years after the .264's creation) that the bullets actually had a dual diameter. And that ship sank in favor of the 7mm Rem Mag. Having had 5 , yes 5, 7mm Rem Magnums I now believe this cartridge to be the superior of the two cartridges based on the quantity of factory loads available and the number of very good bullets available to be reloaded( I no long reload, sold my whole outfit cheap to a returning Iraq war vet). Plus you do get to shoot up to 175gr in the 7mm and only up to 160 gr in the .264. Altho the .264 was superior in the Savage 110, the 7mm Rem Mag is not. A Sav 110-111 in 7mm is a shoulder tenderizer that kills on both ends. The best 7mm I had was a Model 70 Blk Shadow with factory 26" bbl. It was a pleasure to shot and shot like a laser. The rifle had ability wayyyy beyond my own. And as soon as I get a dang job I'll be having another one. Good luck with your selection. [/QUOTE]
