[QUOTE="Tom Brush, post: 239200, member: 6449"] I shot my first deer with a .264 magnum. It was running across a field at about 100 yds. I will never forget it as I took it at the top of one of its leaps and the bullet seemed to stop the forward movement and push the deer backwards. I was probably 15 yrs. old at the time. I am 64 now. This was my only rifle and I hunted groundhogs, deer and bear with it. It was a custom rifle on a Mauser action. Unfortunately I had problems with it splitting cases. Local gunsmiths could not solve the problem so I traded it for a 30-06. I used the Hornady 160 gr. roundnose. Most people back then used the roundnose bullets saying that they were brush bullets. For groundhogs I used 125 gr. custom bullets. I have a 6.5 X .284 now and receintly shot an antelope with it at 345 yds. I keep thinking about that .264 and would have bought another if I could find one. My most receint purchase was a .257 Weatherby and it should be the same. Tom [/QUOTE]
