I started with a pre64 264wm (I still have it) and will end with the 264wm as favorite cartridge! Favorite caliber is the 26. I have 2 6.5gren, 2 260rem, 6 6.5creed (yes, I said that out loud) and 3 264wm's. I'll probable build 2 more 264wm's and 2 6.5prc's for fun. I'm still hashing out the workings of an AR10 in 6.5prc.

You do you, man. I have been tempted to do a 6 Creedmoor or 243 win. Either way I enjoy my AR-10.I lovemy DPMS 10 in 260 even more

When my 25-06 was stolen it was my absolute favorite cartridge. It's replacement was the Tikka T3 because they made left handed rifles in a bunch of calibers. It was my first time shooting a left handed bolt and man did I fall in love with it. I bought it in the short mag craze. A 270 wsm that propelled a 140 grain bullet at 3200 fps. I shot it so much I melted the barrel down and replaced it with an 8 twist. Been shooting a 6.8 Western since 2009. Not gonna lie, it's a fine cartridge.

For hunting WT, 6.5 Rem Mag with 125 partition, Drops them instantly. For 1000 yd steel, 300 SAUM is just plain fun to shoot as it hits with authority.
