[QUOTE="SteveO, post: 2755957, member: 7127"] I’m going to answer before I go thru the 7 pages so my opinion won’t be swayed. I think the 264 Win got a bad wrap when it was introduced because of the powders of the day and it was set up and marketed more as a varmint rifle than big game. A couple years after the 26 Nosler was introduced I decided I wanted one. I ended up with a Blaser R8 with a 300 Win and 243 barrel. I was going to have a 26 Nosler barrel built to fill that gap. After much study, I saw a properly twisted 264 Win would do close enough for me with the 142-156g bullets and wonderful powders we have today. No regrets at all with the 264 Win! This ram was only 300 yards but to say the results were devastating would be an understatement [ATTACH type="full"]441851[/ATTACH] Deer, sheep, mountain goat, even up to musk ox it has done a fantastic job on game. 7mm Mag was not even a thought. Maybe it is too versatile for me. Like a 30-06. [/QUOTE]
