[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 492301, member: 505"] 264 winchester hands down in your case. You have an elk rifle with your 300 winchester. The 264 winchester is a better deer/antelope or anything smaller rifle than the 7mm remington. I own both and have shot both for many years. The ballistics of the 264 winchester will beat the 7mm remington and do it with less recoil. Both are extremely accurate rifles. Basically here is the low down. The 264 winchester shoots a .612 bc bullet up to 3200 fps and one of the best hunting bullets made with a .572 BC up to 3350 fps that is good for elk and moose size game. The 7mm remington shoots a .617 bc bullet between 3000 and 3100 fps on average. If you want to go with a high quality premium hunting bullet in the 7mm remington for something like elk or moose the bc numbers fall off significantly for the 7mm. Some people use the bergers in 7mm for elk size game and lose many elk to bullets fragmenting and no penetration due to this. Not a good choice unless you hold yourself to the high shoulder shot which is not good to limit yourself while hunting elk or moose in most situations. My wife loves to shoot the 264 winchester long range because of less recoil and the ballistics are amazing. I have never found the 264 winchester to be any more finicky than anything else to load for. Matter of fact most loads shoot very well in it. The same case shoots fantastic in 257 through 338 by several manufacturers so why should it be any different in 264. [/QUOTE]
