[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 406043, member: 9253"] I'd save the money to buy a custom barrel after the factory 264 Win Mag barrel is shot out, probably in about 1000 shots. At that point I'd rebarrel it with a custom barrel matched to the kind of shooting you should have decided by then will suit your needs best. The second barrel should be needed about the same time time you're skills improve to the point the old barrel is limiting your shooting. The new barrel should last you the rest of your life with typical hunting use and enough practice to maintain your skill. The problem with using other firearms for practice is that you don't know if you're "good" firearms are reliable, don't learn their ballistic characteristics, and you don't condition your body to shoot them. You learn that about your "practice" firearms instead. [/QUOTE]
