[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 918603, member: 69478"] +1 the .264 Winchester and 7mm RUM are both overbore, but the .26 Nosler, which is pretty much a .264 RUM will be a real barrel burner! I bet it takes close to 70 grains to get that 129 going 3,400 fps. In the end I don't really see the point in this cartridge. It would seem to explosive for big game and too overbore for deer, for varminting shooting rapidly and a lot is common, especially while in a good spot leading again to the toasting of your barrel. The .264 WIN Mag died off because of the better 7mm Remington Magnum but also because of its inefficiency and barrel life. Yea pushing a 129 at 3400fps is cool but not to practical, for 6.5s I believe the .260 fits the bill the best. [/QUOTE]
