[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 386597, member: 505"] These two are completely different in all respects and it will be an easy choice depending on your purpose. If you want all the horsepower you can get the 264 stw is tops. Can't go to a bigger case and get any kind of barrel life so that is where 264 tops out. It is an awesome cartridge and the best 264 out there for long range hunting. It is a very accurate cartridge also. I have shot mine for ten or more years and love it. Mine will drive a .572 bc 130 grain swift 3550 fps. Plug that into a ballistic chart and you see why it is such a good round. It is a hunting rifle though. Work up a load and shoot it sparingly checking zero or hunting and it will last you forever. If you shoot quite a bit at targets and heat the barrel up often it is not the one for you so do the 284 or '06 imp case. If you are more into punching paper and not shooting elk size critters then the 284 case I think would be best for you. [/QUOTE]
