[QUOTE="Ace Quackhunter, post: 2200823, member: 112792"] I first saw the 264 mag when I was 18 and wanted one but did not have the money. Since that time, I have been through 6.5 X 55 Swede converted from a 96 mauser. 6.5 X 55 A.I. custom build, 6.5 X 284 long range target rifle and in 2008 I had a custom 264 Mag built for 140 grain pills. If it's 400 yards or less the 264 will get the job done, if it's brown it's down. Can it shoot further? Sure but I have never had a reason to do so, with a 26" barrel and 1/8 twist it will throw Bergers 1/2 M.O.A or better. There are others 6.5 STW, 6.5 WSM, 6.5 Sherman and they all look great on paper but I have never shot any of them, so I can't say one way or the other. But Weatherby caught my eye and from what I have read 6.5 RPM may be the ticket, though I would want a 7.5 or 7 twist to try some 160 Matrix bullets. Go build you a 264 mag and you will be happy.
