[QUOTE="Badgerclaw, post: 1521772, member: 101780"] Back to original post, A cartridge that gets over looked is the 264 win. If you want lighter recoil than a 7 mag, with available loaded ammo, and enough power to kill elk, the 264 is great. I believe it gets over looked because it's an old cartridge, and now a days there's this 6.5 craze. If you took the same cartridge but renamed it the 6.5 creed/nosler magnum, then had hornady put out articles all over the Internet... a lot of people would jump on that bandwagon. It outperforms the creedmore, the 6.5-284, 6.5-06, and with certain bullet weights I believe it outdoes the PRC (I don't have the reloading manual in front of me so don't hold me to it). Long story short, it's a great cartridge. It just isn't new and shiny [/QUOTE]
