[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 28597, member: 8947"] [b]Re: Lazzeroni\'s .264 Phantom?[/b] Dave, depends on what you want to use it for and how portable this rifle is. I am on a 6.5 kick right now so that is the cal I would recommend. for reg. hunting and shorter distances (400yds in), the 260 is wonderful. Light recoil, very accurate, no problem with components or cost. I am putting together a 6.5 wildcat called the Mystic which give more performance to this case. 140gr bullets are still around 2800 to 2900fps. If you want to go over 2900fps, the 6.5-284 is a good one. Very accurate, well developed, excellent brass life but a little harder to get feeding properly. Use a mid to stand action and throat accordingly. The 6.5-06 is an excellent wildcat for a hunting rifle. Performance is the 270 range but using the "superior" 6.5 bullets. If you want a heavy bench gun and more vel, then the 6.5WSM is an excellent choice. When you start to get over 3100fps, you have to be watchful for bullet blowup or deformation. The long VLD bullets usually don't like going over 3100fps at high spin rates. You should be able to use the SST's for higher vel without trouble.
