[QUOTE="Ranchertx, post: 587721, member: 40156"] I played with those things for years, and handloaded for all of them. To be honest, they barely outperform a .270 winchester and use a lot more powder and are a lot louder. Make sure you have a 26" barrel, and approach max loads with caution. I had best luck with most of mine on 120 grain bullets, but the 130's should work fine. These rifles are very picky about loads, and, it will take a patient approach to get the most out of it. For shooting Bear and Elk out to 600+ yards, I would recommend going with a 30 cal magnum. The .264 will do the job, but, it is a light caliber for that size game at those ranges. [/QUOTE]
