[QUOTE="TXTrained, post: 2436191, member: 108811"] now Ive been reading up since my last piost.And every thing I read about the 264 Win Mag is Short Barrel life..Excessive Recoild..Factory Rifles have both excessive throat erosion and a low twist Hamstrings the 264 Win Mag.... So to just put it plain..You have to buy another barrel to put on your 264 Win Mag to be able to shoot heavy bullets.. When compared equally with 143 gr Hornady bullets the 6.5 PRC beats the 264 Win Mag by 100 FPS..I got this straight out of Hornadys Reloading Book. The other literature all pretty much said the 264 was..and I quote..HAMSTRUNG by the short Throat and slow Twist rate.And Being Barrel Burner. They all also went on to say the reason the 264 Win Mag pretty much died was because of the 7mm Rem Mag bested it in every category and it just laid the 264 to Rest. Now with better machines and technology the 264 Win mag and longer Throated barrels and faster twists it starting to mag a small come back by the Die Hards. the 264 Win Mag comes close if you put a custom barrel on a factory rifle.But still NO CIGAR.. shooting a 143 Grain Hornady ELD-X the 264 Win Mag hit 3050 fps and the 6.5 PRC 3150 shooting exact same Hornady 143 DELD-X..Numbers Dont Lie as said before..Thats all I have to say on the subject.Enjoyed the debate Wild Rose [/QUOTE]
