[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 2429918, member: 42308"] SAAMI spec to SAAMI spec in factory rifles the PRC is probably the better choice. Especially if you aren’t into reloading. The classic 9 twist of the 264win really is the limiting factor. Not that there are not excellent 130g bullets on the market capable to extended ranges. If you are building a rifle the 264win easily gets the nod. To be able to use the superior 155g and heavier bullets a 7.5 or even a 7 twist barrel is required. Some run an 8 twist, but that’s splitting hairs. A 26” 7-1/2” twist barrel on a 264win chambered rifle will safely yield 3,075 to 3,100 fps with several different canister powders and a 155g-160g bullet. Can you push that further? Absolutely, but brass will suffer loose primers by the third reloading. [/QUOTE]
