[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1492303, member: 30902"] There's certainly nothing at all wrong with the .264. With modern powders and high BC bullets it's more capable than ever. If you go that route though be sure and at least go with a 1:8 if not 1:7.5 or even 1:7 twist so you can take full advantage of the higher BC bullets. Personally I see no need in shooting anything much over 140gr but I'm getting more and more settled on copper/allow monolithics and they will run about 10% longer than traditional cup and core bullets in the same weight so it requires a faster twist to stabilize a monolithic bullet vs a cup/core bullet due to the difference in density.
