[QUOTE="flatwater bill, post: 1347729, member: 81090"] 222...............your 264 is a great choice for a western elk hunt. I have killed between 200 and 400 large animals with this cartridge in both hunting and culling. Much that has been written about the 264 is either less than optimal or flat out wrong. It is easy to load for, and much more potent than the 270. I used 74 grains H870 and a Federal 215 with a 140 grain Hornady Spire Point and it was surprisingly effective...used many other loads as well...velocity was initially 3085 but gradually went down to about 3040 as the throat eroded. 24" bbl. I am an old man now....technology in bullets and scopes has improved over the years.....but the 264 with the old Leupold 3X9 would still be fine for elk.....their technology is unchanged....good hunting......FWB [/QUOTE]
