[QUOTE="apexmtnman, post: 343137, member: 13022"] Wookie, nice rifle. Do you like your scope that high? I guess I'm old school and like my scope as low as possible so I can actually have my cheek resting on the comb of the stock. My 264 shoots 140 gr Bergers at 3166 fps with 68 gr of Retumbo out of a 26 inch barrel and I might be able to squeeze a little more out of it if I try, since the primer pockets are still nice and tight after reloading them. I'm not sure you actually gain much by building a 6.5x300 WM over the standard 264 Win Mag, but to each his own I guess. The 6.5 STW seems way overbore to me and would be very hard on barrels, but if you just have to have one, go for it. [/QUOTE]
